One time I was down in southern Kansas on the way to a meeting
and I heard that peculiar, unhappy gurgle in the engine that told me I
was out of gasoline. I was going about 60 miles an hour and I threw it
out of gear and coasted. Then I said, "Holy Spirit, there may be
somebody along this route who needs Christ. I will be glad if You will
keep me going until I find that fellow." Do you know, I coasted
about five miles into a Sinclair station. There was a door in the middle
of the little building, and on one side were the letters
"S-I-N." On the other side were of the door were the letters
"C-L-A-I-R."
A man came to the car window and said, "Can I fill her up
for you?" I said, "Yes; but I want to know something. Who put
the SIN in Sinclair, and how is he going to get rid of it?" He
looked up and said, "Well, I swear! I never saw that before. But it
isn’t the sin in Sinclair that is bothering me, it’s the sin inside
of here."
He was just ready for the gospel, so I took out my Bible and led him
to Christ through the window. The Lord let me run out of gas, because He
knew I would never stop there otherwise, and He knew that fellow was in
soul trouble.
