A small rant. I have been thinking about that guy today, from the Bible Handout. The one who told me I can't earn my way to heaven.
I know that. His implication was that was the only reason someone would go do evangelism. Well, we're commanded by Jesus to go preach the gospel to ALL the nations. My Bible says this. Jesus was all about sending people to reach the unreached. That's what He wants us to do!
It's fine to get saved and work on your own faith life. In fact, it's important. It's equally important to engage in intercessory (praying for others) prayer and finding out how God wants you to engage in evangelism. Eric, for instance, does a lot of work online. That's his forum. Mine is a ghetto corner in "Gunspoint". But we all have a place, and something we're meant to do.
God wants us working. We have to find out how He wants us working and go do it. I believe this with all my heart.
Why? Because Jesus asked us to do it. We don't need to evangelize to be saved, but it should be an outgrowth of getting saved.
Always remember, people are dying and going to hell. I have enough blood on my hands, as I've said, I did nothing to ensure my mother's salvation. By God's grace she was saved anyway. On another occasion, I flat-out told my boss that I didn't think Jesus was the only way to Heaven. I was, and am, very ashamed I said that.
No more. Now it's hard to shut me up about my faith. I'm surprised I have any unreached readers.
One of the saddest posts I ever read was on Rapture Ready. It is a Christian message board. Anyway, one woman found out that her coworker, who had been "out sick" for a while, actually had terminal cancer. She was desperate to go talk to him and share her faith, as she had never shared it with him before. Sadly, he died before she could do so and she can only presume he died unreached and went to hell. It was heartbreaking for her.
Everyone who knows me knows my boss is Jesus. I work for Him. I care only to please Him, not myself, not Ron, but Jesus. If I'm doing that, I'm happy. I ask for His help everyday (that prayer I was talking about), for myself and for others trying to do His will, and of course the unreached.
Remember, I think, when the unreached die, they go to hell. That everyone who rejects God dies and goes to hell. I don't want that to happen and will do whatever I can to make sure that you can meet God and experience Him the way I have.
I don't get why everyone thinks that makes me a freak, especially people who are claiming to also be saved.
The saddest fact of all, Ron and I are literally working one block from Harvest Time church's doorstep. The guy I talked to today is probably with them. But God had to send me, from miles away, to go evangelize their neighborhood because, presumably, they won't do it.
