Waste no more time...

The time was 1730 on a Saturday evening. Not the usual Saturday evenings. The haze that has been suffocating us for days was getting worse. Off I went to church with my bro, James. Well this isn't the important part. What is important is the message in church today.

Pastor Daniel Ho was preaching on Communicating the Gospel based on Paul's experience with the Athenians taken from Acts 17:16-34. Before I go on talking about the content preached, the praise and worship session was awesome. Allow me to repeat, AWESOME! I could feel God's tangible presence. Church was packed and people were worshipping.

Communicating the Gospel. We are all made to worship. No matter what or who we worship we will still seek to worship because we are made to worship. The question is, "Are you worshipping the right god?" The Gospel here refers to the Good News. The salvation that Christ brought to us all at a price He paid on the cross of calvary. He paid the ultimate price, once and for all for us to have the opportunity to live eternally and not suffer for eternity in the fiery lakes of hell. Isn't this a great news. A news no one should miss.

Day in day out, I hear people talk about the unreached, the lost. Why are they lost? More so , unreached. The problem lies with us, christians. Communicating the gospel to the people around us gives them the opportunity to come to know Christ personally. If no one or very few are sharing and evangelising, how many will receive the message. How many more will be saved? It will be a very saddening sight if many of our loved ones and others not known to us perish. The harvest is ready, but where are the workers? If we are willing, God is so much more willing and happy to equip us to do this commendable duty. All ye soldiers of God's army, get into position and execute this enduring rescue mission.
