Who, Me Discouraged?

The minority whip of the House of Representatives, Roy Blunt resigned his post last week. He thought ten years of encouraging people to do things they didn’t want to do was enough. Sometimes believers get discouraged too.

We should take heart. There are some bright spots around, where God is really blessing the efforts of the faithful. My son just arrived home from a mission trip to the Philippines. During the first meeting there, 340 people responded to faith in Christ. You don’t see much of that in our nation. While God is doing greater works elsewhere in the world, the trend here is to growing unfaithfulness and dropping out. It is difficult to “whip up” much more than lip service to the things of God these days.

What shall we do? The only thing we can do is to keep preaching the Word. I encourage my flock to stay on their knees, in the Word, and close to one another. Reading in Acts the second chapter, we see that is the very environment the Lord used to begin the wonderful work called Christianity.

So, we will keep doing our part the way believers always have. It takes a little over forty of us (per capita) to win one soul in America. But every soul counts. Amen?

Have you read Luke 21:25-28? You should. We are getting closer to the day.
