ALARM TO THE UNCONVERTED is a little book written by Joseph Alleine(1634-1668). Though not as recognized as it once was, it has left its mark in Christian history as a Puritan classic.
Alleine was a serious young man who felt that his commitment to Christ required the wise use of his time. He wanted to use every moment, in one way or another, for the Lord. As a student, he often neglected his friends for his studies. "It's better they should wonder at my rudeness," he explained, "than that I should lose time; for only a few will notice the rudeness, but many will feel my loss of time."
As a minister, Joseph habitually rose at four in the morning, praying and studying his Bible until eight. His afternoons were spent calling on the unconverted. At the beginning of the week, he would remark, "Another week is now before; let us spend this week for God." Each morning he would say, "Now let us live this one day well!"
Though he died at age thirty-four, Joseph Alleine did more for Christ than many twice his age. Are you being a good steward of your time? Are you using your moments wisely for Christ?

I have been out of town visiting family and meeting new friends. I hope all of you are well and I pray the Lord will give you comfort and provision in all your needs. I have a new favorite line I picked from this devotion, "Now let us live this one day well." Take care, Carey
