You can enroll for classes, but if you never show up to the class, you won't get your diploma. And I looked at it and I said, listen lady, that's nice and that's good, but listen, nowhere in the Bible does it say that salvation is like enrolling into a college program. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that salvation is like riding a motorcycle without a helmet. But the Bible tells us that salvation is a new birth. The Bible tells us that you get bored and you say, what were you doing? We were disputing and we were persuading and we were attempting to get her saved. You say, why would you do that? Because that's how you cause an uproar. That's how you make an impact. I don't know about you, but I want to make sure that my life has made an impact for the cause of Christ. Why don't you notice that he confronted them with the gospel and he contented with them for the gospel. But notice thirdly, he continued in the gospel. Notice what the Bible says, and he went into the synagogue and spake boldly. Notice, for the space of three months, for the space of three months disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God. But when diverse were hardened and believed not but spake evil of the way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus. And this continued, notice, by the space of two years. Paul wasn't the guy that showed up to go soul winning because he was at the Red Hot Preaching Conference. Paul continued in the gospel. And he continued when it was fruitful. He continued when it was not fruitful. He was in it for the long run. You say, is it going to take three months to get this area done? Then he'll take three months. Is it going to take two years to get this area done? Then he'll take two years. He confronted them and he contended with them and he continued.
