Across the Preacher’s Desk: Are You Suffering From T.B.?

July 11, 2024 - A physician got up a few Sunday’s back to go to church, but he never made it there. The only explanation he gave was “T.B.” Poor Doctor! He spent his life fighting almost every disease known to man and T.B. finally got him.

A prominent woman was honored with an invitation to come and worship with the saints of God, but she was not able. You see, “T.B.” prevented her from being there.

T.B. is a very old disease. A man in the Bible explained his refusal of an invitation by indicating he had trouble with T.B. “Too Busy”, the most vicious form of T.B. ever known. “I have bought five yoke of oxen, I have bought a field, I have married a wife”. That is the way they explained it in the scriptures. Today, “I have a job; Sunday is my only day for recreation; life is so cluttered, I just don’t have any time to serve the Lord.” That’s the way spiritual T.B. is explained today. However, one day, all those suffering with T.B. today will discover they will not be too busy to die nor too busy to attend the judgment.

Friends, T.B. is not incurable, however it finds its origin in heart disease. Those suffering from T.B. must make their heart right with God. When you cure your “heart trouble” you will never again be “Too Busy” to live for Jesus.

It’s something to think about... tbp
