Way too many...

Romans 10:14-17 (New American Standard Bible)

"14How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?

15How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, "HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!"

16However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT?"

17So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."

There are way too many people dying without knowing Christ. Sometimes we don't say anything because we label ourselves by what we think we are NOT.

Not a preacher.
Not an evangelist.
Not outgoing.
Not good in front of people.
Not one to intrude into other people's lives.

There are way too many people dying without knowing Christ.

We do our best every week to present the Word of God in a way that people can come to know Him or know Him better. Who have you invited to church lately? You may not be any of the things listed above but you can invited someone.
You CAN encourage someone.
You CAN point towards Christ.
You CAN bring someone to church.
You CAN overcome the excuses.
You CAN make disciples of those around you that God has placed there.

There are way too many people dying without knowing Christ!

Chris, thanks for this post. It confirms what I am planning to preach Sunday. The believer must act like the gospel is important (as in life and death) for the non-believer to take the gospel seriously. Padre
