I ran across this article by one of my favorite past preachers, Marshall Keeble. Mr. Keeble had the gift to explain great truths in current and simple ways. The article below shows his ability to make great points with simple thoughts. I appreciate the lasting influence of Mr. Keeble.

PUNCTURE PROOF

by Marshall Keeble (deceased)

You know, I like some of these newfangled inventions. The puncture-proof tire is the one I like especially well. If you’re driving along with the ordinary tires, and a nail goes through them — whisssss…. you lose all the air. But, a puncture-proof tire is different, if a nail goes through it, some stuff inside runs around and stops up the hole and the air stays.

You know, the heart of a Christian is like this puncture-proof tire. An ordinary heart may be filled with love, but when someone does something to puncture that heart, all the love runs out and hatred- -and hard feelings take its place. But, a puncture-proof heart is different; it is filled with the spirit of Christ, and someone through his words or actions punctures that heart, immediately the hole is stopped up tight and love stays in. “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (Rom. 12:21)
