“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 

Fulfilling the Great Commission is Christ’s ultimate command for His Army of ”Little Christ’s”.  He wants us to learn His word, His truths, His principles so that we can apply our faith on a daily basis, and be a light unto this dark world.  Our faith has to become an act that is practiced, and our desire to reach lost souls must become our driving force.  We have to become participants in the war that is being waged between good and evil. 

People who have never heard the word “Jesus”, and have never been told the truth about Christ will not miraculously wake up one morning with a strong “urge” to seek out Patrick or Christy, or any other of my fellow christian family members.  We, that know the truth, must take it to them, whether they live on our street or in Brazil.  I have met many, many well-intentioned, and willing christians on Sunday mornings but I don’t often met, or see, many that are on the battlefield on the other days of the week.

Let’s all make a new committment to apply our knowledge of Christ and His Truth.  Let’s stop talking and thinking and wishing and let’s get busy doing.  It is a daily struggle to do the “Christian thing”, and I often fail, and I often get to the end of the day and realize I could have done better…I should be doing better.  But that’s okay.  God knows He’s dealing with emotional, irrational, fickle, tempermental, stubborn, prideful and imperfect human beings.  He designed us this way because He wants us to focus on Him and rely on the power that He has.  We are children of the Risen Lord and we have access to the same power that raised Christ from the dead.  All we have to do is ask, and He’ll equip us. 

Time for me to stop writing and get busy doing because too many souls are dying and going to hell on a daily basis.
