Staying on focus.....

People need the Lord that is the bottom line. Sometimes we that have been Christains for a while forget what it is like to live without hope to really be lost. Telling others about the Good News of Jesus Christ, is this our purpose for living as Christians? Yes. Why then do so few Christians share their faith? Why are we not fishing? I guess we could find many excuses but one of the reasons is we Christian do not like to think about what it really means to be lost, separated from the love of God. We see very little difference in the church people and the people of the world. We think oh it would be nice if my friend or family member would come to Christ. They would be a little better off. Maybe their marriage would be a little better, maybe they would not drink as much and with a miracle they could quit smoking… Yes, we think they would be a little better off with Christ in thier life but it’s not worth the risk of rejection…. I don’t want to offend anyone… Have you ever been to a funeral of a lost person someone you love who you knew did not believe in Christ. We say things, “like they look so peaceful” but they are not in a place of peace they are in Hell, yes Hell… Did you know that Jesus talked more about hell than he did about heaven or love. Hell is a reality…. Have you ever burned your finger? Thing about how painful that was, nothing compared to the pain of Hell. This life is short. If something does not change, if someone does not start fishing, 95% of the people living here in Playa del Carmen will spend eternality in hell, your friends your neighbors your family members. This should break your heart…. One day Christ will return, will be fishing. This morning I am crying out to God for the 300,000 people living in our city who are lost an with hope.. Will you join me in Prayer?-
