Something that I pray I'll never forget. Ever.

The world is perishing around me.  It's as if we're all on the Titanic as it's sinking. But only Christians are allowed in the life boats. Why am I not trying to save as many people as I can?  Don't I believe that Hell is infinitely worse than anything I could ever imagine? I have no excuse, and I beg God to forgive me and make me care more every

Amen! It's one of the reasons I can't stand some of Oprah: we're expected to "be good to ourselves" but serve others; be fun, flippant and in, but also up on current social and political issues; be healthy, fit and well-rounded, and care for others on a global scale! I seriously don't know how well-meaning people can swallow all that crap and not go crazy. At least Christians have God to give them the Holy Spirit and an eternal perspective on life and what truly matters.

But if you, Terence, meant that you wanted us to be 'hit' by that, and meant for us to feel humbled and chastened, then mission accomplished. It's an immense amount of not only informaton, but weighty knowledge that we are accountable for.

Sometimes I hate our nuturing Christian bubble for keeping us from touching even the small mission field that is the public school system, but it introduces us to amazing tools, such as Future Grace and great friends to reach the world. I sometimes justify (and sometimes rightfull so) tell myself that the world needs not only overseas missionaries, but Christian business people, teachers, secretaries, etc. here in the States to witness to people here, and certainly, that's true-even local pastors are here to sheperd us in America, but what is being done for the Gospel on a global scale?

yeah, that was my ranting time. "He told them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'" Luke 10:2
