Excuses

Reading today where Ananias didn't want to go to Saul (Acts 8). He had a pretty good reason--Saul had been breathing threats against the church. He was not nice. My excuses are generally much lamer. I don't want to be a burden. Folks have been battered by overly aggressive evangelists. There is a time and place. This isn't the time nor is it the place. And on and on. Here's the deal:  Saul didn't stay Saul. He became Paul. And he is the largely responsible for introducing the world to Christ. How many Sauls are waiting to become Pauls and simply need me to quit making excuses?
