I was listening to Mark Cahill the other day and something about what he and others (Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron) have been saying really troubles me. I haven't been able to pin down the teaching that is most difficult for me to digest. Perhaps a contributing factor is hundreds of thousands are heading for a lake of fire known as Hell or maybe it is the reality that every 7 seconds someone dies. Aha! I know what it is, it's that hundreds of people I've met haven't heard about the only way of escape but I knew what it was and kept it from them.
It could also be the reality that the more knowledge one gains about such matters, the more fearful one becomes in proclaiming it, or so has been my experience. I admire the boldness of the one who is able to tell any person, at any given time or place the need for a savior and will take the time to show that person the law in the Ten Commandments to prepare the heart for understanding such a need for THE Savior, Jesus Christ.
I admire those who swallow fear or simply have no fear to boldly, unashamedly proclaim Christ and Christ crucified without watering down any part of the Good News (Gospel).
More of the teaching that troubles me is the fact that God's holiness is real and because of His holiness, His wrath is certain, yet people on TV--- in shows, commercials, movies, talk shows, at work, in schools, on the street, and at home curse God through words and in the way they live but I am commanded to tell them about the wrath to come even if it's through handing them a powerful gospel tract. So simple, yet so hard. Let me know what helps you do it!
Terrorists are plotting to attack and kill more people. This goes on daily in countries outside the United States. Oh, to have the zeal and resolve to tell people of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sin and the need for repentance, as the terrorists have for murdering Americans and Jews, babies, kids, mothers, fathers not to mention themselves!
