Make a difference in this world!!

    Over 50% of the earth's population has never heard of Jesus. They've never heard of...and for many, never experienced this kind of love and grace. Every day...even every hour, millions around the world are dying without the assurance of salvation, they are entering into an eternity in hell because they've never been given the chance to accept Him. They will miss out on eternity in heaven with Christ because someone refused to go out and share the good news.

 "...not many people have the opportunity to be a missionary' -Jim Elliot. 
(and that because not many obey God's call)

  "Many are called but few are chosen" in Matthew 22:14

   How sad is that truth! It is so sad to think that somewhere out there are people passing into eternity without knowing God because someone would not obey God's call. If more people would obey the call of God, more people would have the chance to repent and turn to God before it was too late. How would you feel if you were standing before the throne of God and found out that someone was in hell because you did not obey God? Imagine the horror of knowing you had the chance to save that soul and you never even tried!!

       As Christians we are called to go out into the world and share the good news, making disciples of all nations. (Mat. 28: 19-20) This is not an option. We are commanded by our risen Lord and King to GO! Whether that means witnessing within our hometown or going to another country is up to God not us! We are not called to choose when we will obey, where we will go, who we will go to or how far we will go. We are simply told to OBEY! In every situation, under every command.

     If you have the chance to save a life don't stop until you do!! If you have the opportunity to step in and make a difference in the eternity of even one person, keep trying! If God has called you to the mission field, GO! If God has called you to some form of ministry within your hometown, OBEY!! If God has called you to witness to someone, DO IT!! God will not abandon you!! If He has called you to something, I urge you with every fiber in my being, do not rest until you fulfill that call!!
"For the glory of God!"
"Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few."
Matthew 9:37
