Today’s Thought “Soul Winning” G. Ward

 

“What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?” Luke 15:4

 

Gas prices are so exorbitant you’d think it would drive the poor and middle class into becoming strong conservationists. Instead, great complaint persists, while consumption is never altered.

I use this analogously in view of believer’s participation in worship services. The objectivity agreed upon would reveal man’s desire to first worship Holy God and second, to learn more of Him that others could develop intimacy as well.  As gas stations exist to enable our filling up that we can maintain productivity in life circumstances, worship with other believers prepares us in seeking those distant from Truth (Jn. 14:6).

We have to decide which angle to pursue. Is it appearing righteous unto those understanding that “No one is righteous, not one” (Ro. 3:10), or adopting a charge given by the Savior that demands that after leaving church, become the church, by ensuring the lost understand a “Blessed Assurance” that Jesus is theirs also?

Happy Wednesday!
