OUR MORAL COMPASS
I can't recall in my lifetime having such an uneasy feeling about where we are as a country, as a people. Our collective moral compass seems out of whack, leading us in a different direction. The basic goodness of the American people appears to be on a downward spiral. Folks are not God fearing as they were when I grew up.
The end of times, I believe, are unfolding right before our eyes. With this in mind, there is a certain sense of urgency, in my heart, to share the Gospel, to spread the word, to show the way to as many as possible, as soon as possible. I have avoided doing this using the excuse that I am not ready. That I am not smart enough. That I am not, whatever!
The Holy Spirit is convicting me daily, demanding that I get off my rump and get to HIS business. The business of encouraging salvation. The Holy Spirit will highlight them, place them in my path and I will go get em! Praise God!
Today I was thinking real hard about those I personally know of who are lost, and will never find their names written in the book of life before the White Throne of God. How terrible it is that I know this and that I am not doing a thing to try and turn their thinking around, see if they will listen to reason. God works through us, we are his hands, his voice, a tool; being the vehicle for His words to flow through us to the intended soul. What we hear our mouths say is not always what the receiver of the words hear and understand in his heart. THAT is the Holy Spirit working, my dear friend!
In study, I was led to Matthew, Chapter 13. What if Uncle Charles and Aunt Kathy or one of your own children continued to deny the existence of God and they die and go to Hell? What if God could use us as a lever to free their unbelief and end up with them being saved? How great of a deal would that be?
Take a look at this scripture below then answer this question; Am I ready to do His will and start immediately to share the Gospel, to tell all I meet the joy of Jesus?
(Mat 13:47-51) "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet cast into the sea, and gathering fish of every kind; and when it was filled, they drew it up on the beach; and they sat down and gathered the good fish into containers, but the bad they threw away. "So it will be at the end of the age; the angels will come forth and take out the wicked from among the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. – "Have you understood all these things?" They *said to Him, "Yes."
