DO YOU HAVE A BROKEN HEART FOR THE LOST?

“…But the multitudes that were so dear to Christ shall not be less dear to me.  If I cannot prevent their moral suicide, I shall at least baptize them with my human tears. . . If in spite of all I can do they will sin against light and bring upon themselves the displeasure of a holy God, then I must not let them go their sad way unwept. . . I scorn a happiness that I must purchase with ignorance. . . I choose a broken heart rather than any happiness that ignores the tragedy of human life and human death. . . Though I, through the grace of God in Christ, no longer lie under Adam’s sin, I would still feel a bond of compassion for all of Adam’s tragic race, and I am determined that I shall go down to the grave or up into God’s heaven mourning for the lost and the perishing.”  AW Tozer

WE GET TO DO THIS!

Hi everyone,


Do you sense the privilege we have been given? Not only did Jesus save us, but He also made us to be co-heirs and partners with Him in His great passion--TO SEEK AND SAVE THE LOST.

Oh, that the Holy Spirit would work in our hearts in such a way that we would see the call to go into the harvest fields, not as an obligation, but rather as a high, high privilege. Truly, we get to do this. Think about it. Most people are absorbed in their own worlds, not even considering great things like Heaven, Hell, eternity, souls, the Savior. But, He has been so kind to us--to open our eyes and to bring us out of darkness and into the light. Thank You, Jesus, for your great love to us and for the great privilege to serve you by obeying your call for us to go into the world and to preach the gospel.

So, my dear brothers and sisters, let's go on Friday night! Where? Why, where Paul went: to reason in the market place with whoever happens to be there (Acts 17:17). And, what better market place than the Annapolis Mall!

We'll meet there at 7:00 pm at the Subway restaurant in the food court. We'll have a time of prayer and preparation. Then, we will trust our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to empower us through His Spirit to open our mouths and make known the glorious gospel!

See you then,
Chris

This was the weekly invite to our evangelism team for January 22, 2009. And we did GO--24 strong!  And the Holy Spirit did empower us!  What a great joy to hear the reports of the whole, uncompromised gospel being proclaimed to those who so desperately needed to hear.  Thank You, our Father for your call, Your strength to go, and Your granting us boldness!
