The Great Commission

We will all experience great losses in our lives and having experienced several recently I have been led to take time to share something that is on my heart.  Fulfilling “The Great Commission.”  Matthew 28:18-20 “Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and earth. God, therefore, and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”  As Christians we are called to share the gospel whether it is as missionaries in other countries or in our communities and families.  Let’s make a commitment to ask God to direct us on a path to share His Word.

Do not grow weary . . .

2 Corinthians 4:1-4 (NCV) “God, with his mercy, gave us this work to do, so we don’t give up. But we have turned away from secret and shameful ways. We use no trickery, and we do not change the teaching of God. We teach the truth plainly, showing everyone who we are. Then they can know in their hearts what kind of people we are in God’s sight. If the Good News that we preach is hidden, it is hidden only to those who are lost. The devil who rules this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe. They cannot see the light of the Good News–the Good News about the glory of Christ, who is exactly like God.”  I have been praying for a couple who are lost and 2 Corinthians 4:4 is a scripture I have been focused on and today it was part of my scripture reading.  Praying for the lost, asking God to open doors or put others in their path is such a crucial part of our prayer time.  My God is bigger, my God is greater than any other.  Believe it!
