WAN TED: Bold Harvesters

Luke 10
2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

How's That Working Out For You?

One morning, I was led by the Holy Spirit to post a strong evangelical plea on my facebook wall. It was not written to be eloquent nor a transcendental display of impressive penmanship. Instead, it is plaintive and 'straight-to-the point'.

This is what I posted:

I look at it this way - many people on facebook think it's perfectly alright to post so-called "adult" joke cartoons and make jokes about drunkenness, substance abuse, cussing, taking God's name in vain, and generally acting up as though God doesn’t exist, or doesn’t see. Question for those folks: "How's that workin' out for you? Do you feel any real peace in your life? Are you experiencing any 'real' love? Not the kind that makes your "forward" parts feel all tingly, but real, unconditional love. Are a few drinks and some tunes really worth gambling your eternal well-being for? Is working hard and cutting up on the weekend all there really is to life?

Merchandising The Gospel

It’s a well-known fact that the bible instructs us to not incur debt. Throughout the book of Proverbs we are repeatedly admonished to NOT sign promissory notes. Yet, many televised Christian ministries on the airwaves beg, tearfully implore, or resort to 'soft sale' manipulation, coaxing viewers into reaching for the telephone with credit card in hand. I've been seriously and prayerfully pondering this all-too-familiar trend and seeking discernment as to how the Lord actually feels about it.
