"If I do not return to the pulpit this weekend, millions of people will go to hell."
-- Jimmy Swaggart, 5/20/88
None of us are indispensable. God will use us to do His work but He also uses others, even more effectively than He can with us. All of us are but dust of the earth. Economic achievement, scholastic achievement, any kind of achievement is of no value when it comes down to it. Works is not something we can boast about, it is entirely by His Spirit that God uses us to do anything for His purposes. To think that we are the key ingredient in God's workings is so not true.
The best that anyone of us can do is to be available to be used of God. To be yielded to be used of God. But that will never make us important or germaine to his plans in such a way that without us involved people will go to hell...
David
