There’s a wonderful preacher up in Canada that I heard some time ago who said when he got saved, he thought he got three things: He got (1) a certificate that said he’s in, (2) a ticket that said we’ll take you there when the time is right, and (3) a catalog, in which he could place orders by praying. I thought how striking that was and how similar to what the vision is for many people. It’s a negative one—I’m going to the place that doesn’t require air conditioning.
