SHARE THE GOOD NEWS!!

"Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!". 1 Corinthians 9:16b. Well, the Christmas season is over. We celebrated the birth of Jesus. Far too often our vision of Him has been woefully weak and inadequate. He has been to us the babe of Bethlehem, meek and mild; the lowly teacher of Galilee; the one who would not retaliate even when reviled; the gentle sufferer. But that is only one side of Him. But He is now the Christ this side of Calvary, the empty tomb, the ascension, Pentecost. Bible says "God has "set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; and has put all under His feet...(Ephesians 1:20-23). But we are just like Laodiceans, aren't we? Christianity on our terms, the indifferent, half-hearted, shallow, superficial, insipid, tepid, apathetic, non-committed, fence-straddlers who profess great respect but no sacrificial obedience to His commandment and great commission. A mild case of Christianity! Hey, hey Paul said "Woe is unto me, If I preach not the gospel". We are not meant to be idle nor meant to be dumb. Our lips are not meant to be sealed. We are supposed to be detonators for the dynamite of the gospel. The compulsion from above is that Jesus Christ is Lord and He has commissioned us to "preach the gospel to every creature". If you want change this world and turn the world upside down- then preach and share the good news of the gospel of salvation, love, peace, joy and eternal life. STOP BEING A PEW WARMER, Y'ALL HEAR ME!
