In the spirit of the spiritual song that was posted last night, here is a poem on reaching the world for Jesus Christ.
Go Ye
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Hear your commission, O Church of the Master!
Friends and disciples of Jesus, take heed.
How are you doing the work of the Father?
How are you caring for hunger and need?
Useless to stay in your doorway, and beckon --
Those who most need will never come in;
Fighting the devil with art and with culture,
How he must laugh at his stronghold of sin!
There is so much need in this sad old world - much need for the Gospel and help for the poor and needy. :(
ReplyDeleteYes, that's very true.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad it blessed you! :-)
DeleteIt's been a kind of tiring summer somehow, but it is nearly over now. :-) I hope you had a great time visiting your far-away family!
