I know how many of us come up with many excuses to justify our lack of spreading the gospel. I wonder what God thinks about us, how we find the time for recreational activities but can't lift a leg to witness to a soul, in person.


After-all, the great commission is spreading the gospel. What excuses are we going to use while in the presence of Jesus?

(Us) Lord, we were too busy.
(God)How did you have time for AFF?

(Us) We weren't feeling well -or- we were stricken with an illness
(God) The 12 apostles faced death everyday, didn't I provide for them?

(Us) The streets are filled with criminals.
(God) Didn't you read about the situations I protected Janice Alvear from in Brazil?

(Us) Lord, my feet hurt.
(God) Jacob limped and performed my will.

(Us) My family were priority
(God) Didn't I require you to love me more than they?



(God)You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn’t sow, and gather where I didn’t scatter.

I don't see evangelism as an event, something we plan or schedule. I see it as a lifestyle through developing authentic relationships with those outside the faith and far from God. It's as natural as breathing.
