Going forth with the Gospel, and manning the Walls

The love of God should not only be upon us, but should flow from us. We are not just meant to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ, but to deliver it to both the lost, and the righteous alike. The lost will be shown the way to salvation, and the righteous warned against sinning. If we are successful in doing this then we will have delivered our own souls. Are we actively speaking of God’s love, and the redemptive power of Christ? Are we saving the wandering souls, and shouting a warning to those who are found, but are being tempted towards sin? Do we stand on the wall, and call the masses to arms, and warn the strong men of danger?

Knowing, and Obeying, the Watchmen in our Lives?

When your family is facing impending danger who is it that sounds the alarm? Every family seems to have someone who stands watch, and serves as our watchman. This is more than true in the Bible as both spiritual and physical warnings are issued. The two big questions are these… does the watchman honor his calling by sounding the alarm, and, do we pay attention once that the warning has been issued? If we are reluctant to sound the alarm, or upon hearing, we don’t react to the trumpets sounding in the night, then we are truly lost.
