Good Morning 03-07

"Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature."
- Mark 16:15

Jesus has said to each of us: "I will make you fishers of men." The skill of a fisherman is determined by how full his basket is at the close of the day. There must be on the altar of our hearts a holy fire for lost souls. Let us not hide behind the excuse that we are not sufficiently skilled. We are not asked to win an argument, but to win souls. A heart filled with love for our fellow men can teach us more about personal soul winning that great knowledge or polished conversation. We need a true desire to share heaven with others. Our LORD commands us to go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in.

Christian friends, may we who are members of Christ's body pray for a burning evangelistic zeal. Let us not think of our Church in terms on money, of budget, property, but in terms of precious souls saved for Christ. Let there be in each one of us a true sense of the worth of a single soul. As God's hand opens doors of opportunities to us, let us give the testimony and plead: "Be ye reconciled unto God." Life will glow with a new meaning when we take our position as co-workers with Christ in building a kingom that can never perish.

Let us go forth, as called of God,
Redeemed by Jesus' precious blood;
His love to show, His life to live,
His message speak, His mercy give.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - God has left us in the world to witness to the world.
