We Must Work to Spread the Good News In America
Its clear that evangelism and outreach is increasingly needed not just abroad, but in America as well. We need to do all we can to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, by reaching out and let others know about the Good News. We are all members of the Body of Christ, the church and this is absolutely the most important mission that we have as Christians. Particularly when there are so many people who do not know the Lord and or engaged in all manor of Sin against God.
We do not do enough in this country to tell enough people about the Good News. It will be a hard fought battle and not one that will be won easily. There are many people who are set against hearing or even listening to the Word of God, however if we can save just one, our mission will not be in vain. We must remember Jesus’ Great Commission; Matthew 28:19- ‘Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. That is our charge and our commission, even when we are facing a world bent on performing all manor of evil and sin, right here in America.
The Road
Our steps are ordered. Predestined and outlined; Yet we dare to create our own path. We should know; will know, which road to choose. Yet we do not consult; we do seek council. We act, we move, we go, and our steps are not sanctioned. We live; we let live and our purpose is narrow. Our thoughts are unproductive and mistakes are at hand. Our road is rough and jagged, some times the drifting snow takes away our visibility.
The Road is closed, the result of our choices. We seek; we knock, the door is open, but only when we come with contrition. Then with grace we learn the ordered steps. The planned steps; the guided steps to the road of victory. It’s elusiveness is certainly due to our shortsightedness; we’ve passed this road many times; but we did not bother to ask for help.
It’s your choice; to discern the meaning of this writing. With it you learn the directions you need to the road. The direction are within you, or could be; if only you ask; if only you ask. To find the road, by shedding the baggage. Yes shedding the dead weight. To not only find the road, but to travel along it to your home.
God Will Never Leave Us Alone
Adversity though our constant companion is never our friend. It will always follow us presenting challenges and sometimes weakens our resolve. But adversity cannot overcome the resolve of Almighty God, who is a our anchor in the face of turmoil. The Lord promised to never leave us; never to leave us alone. We may not be able to rid our life of problems, pitfalls, setback and despair; but we can learn to live confidently knowing that Almighty God will be there for us in good times and in bad. We can learn to know that His word and His care is real and that we can choose to walk each day above the circumstance in peace.
Jesus said that he will never leave us; never will leave us alone and that is a powerful testament to His eternal commitment to us through Son and our Savior Jesus Christ.

Those Who Do Not Know the Lord Will Be Punished
The second coming of the Jesus will be tragic for unbelievers. 2 Thessalonians 6:10 says “since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with retribution those who trouble you, to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in the flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all who believe, because our testimony among you was believed.
We do not have to take up the sword of vengence, when we a confonted with wrong in this fallen world. We much be faithful and believe that the Lord will make a way and pr for us, even when the world is against us. We must forgive our enemies through Christ and move on to serve to the greater and ultimate Glory of the Lord.
