September 20 "I think I'll wait until the end to ask forgiveness"--25th Sunday OT(a) 2026. Matthew 20: 1-16
Is it fair that those who have deathbed conversions enter the Kingdom of Heaven when I've been slaving all this time? Why even remaing faithful when I can just wait until the end to come to Jesus? I can just enjoy the world and all it's allures and not have to worry about the things of God. What does it even matter?
