JESUS IS CALLING…ARE YOU LISTENING?

You will never make a missionary of the person who does no good at home.  He that will not serve the Lord in the Sunday school at home will not win children to Christ in China. –Spurgeon

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

The Lord has a specific job for each one of His children to do. It may be singing in the choir, mowing the church yard, preaching in some third world country or some other job around the church. But let me share something with you, everyone can’t be a hand in the church. Everyone can’t be the feet, eyes, ears, or any other part. I can only do the job He wants me to do! You have to do the job He wants you to do. If we don’t someone will have to pick up our slack!

Child of God, get busy doing what God wants you to do! Don’t sit down! Don’t shut up! Don’t shrivel back into a corner! Stand up! Speak up! Shout it out that Jesus Lives and Jesus is coming!

WILL YOU TELL THE TRUTH?

One taper lights a thousand, yet shines as it has shone; and the humblest light may kindle one brighter than its own.— Butterworth

A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. Proverbs 14:25

In a court of law, when a witness comes forward to give testimony of the events pertaining to a case they are asked to place their hand on the Bible and to swear or affirm to tell the truth. They take an oath or make a promise that what they are about to testify to is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If the jury finds the witness credible, the one who is being accused has a pretty good chance of being convicted and sentenced to time in prison.

As you and I go out and testify to the truth found in God’s Word, will it be enough to convict a sinner? Will there be enough power in our testimony to change one’s opinion about who Jesus is and what He has done for every man, woman, boy and girl in the world? Will the light of truth shine so bright in your life that it will kindle another’s?
