Our call of Duty

Something on my mind...

I just watched a movie that brought tears to my eyes and agony to my heart.
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a powerful movie about the Holocaust and an 8 year old boy who stands up for what's right.

It made me realize the desperate need there is in the world for the gospel. The amount of people that have yet to hear the glorious life-changing news of salvation.

I was reminded of a verse...

THE HARVEST IS PLENTY BUT THE WORKERS ARE FEW!

Where are the workers? Why have we forgotten our call? We, as Christians, have been employed by the greatest employer in all the universe; just think, He sends us around the world and provides for our every need! So what are we doing? In what ways are we fulfilling the job we have committed to doing when we chose to follow Christ?

There are too many people dying in the world without the free gift that we hold in our hands. We've been called to give it away. We've been called to be the voice for those without one. We've been called to take a stand for what's right. We've been called to go against the flow, be on the flip-side of society. Why do we blend in so well? Are we making a difference?

I heard a quote from a book that said: "If Christianity were a crime, would you have enough evidence to convict you?"

Those who've been convicted of crimes have proof and evidence of what they've done; do we, as Christians, have proof and evidence of what we've done, of what we are doing?

WE NEED TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM!!! RESPOND TO THE CALL OF DUTY!
