Who is going to tell them?

"For whoever calls on the Name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him  in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?"   Romans 10:13-15  NKJV

As people call on the Name of the Lord, they shall be saved - born again - converted etc. etc. This goes for Christians too, when we are in dire trouble, calling out to God can lead us out of the problem, or at least, help us to cope with it.
However, we're talking here about unbelievers. Those who have never made the Lord their Saviour. This has happened to many people. I was 34 before I became a Christian. Up until that time, I had lived for myself and didn't care about God or holiness. However, God had a plan. For what happened, scroll down to the beginning of these daily blogs for My Testimony.

Many people live their lives, work, eat, sleep and have some fun and that about sums it all up. But there is much more. But, the people won't know unless someone tells them. That's where we all come in. The only time people hear about Godly things, are at funerals, occasionally wedding and in the day when it was okay to talk about God - in school. Therefore, many don't know about God and we need to tell them. 

Romans 10:17 says, 'Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.' Perhaps it needs a preacher to tell them. Really though, as Christians we all have it within us to speak about our faith to someone. Perhaps at work, in the pub, at school or somewhere in the community. 

Many churches today, neglect to preach the Gospel, choosing to fill the service with lots of worship and prayer and a short sermon. It must be said, that worship can contain the Good News of Jesus, yes, but in my opinion, the sermon cannot be neglected, especially if the Gospel is preached each week. 

Not many unbelieving folk walk into a church unless they're invited and then they may be reluctant. If and when they do, we need to take every opportunity, without coming on too heavily, to introduce them to Jesus. Failing that, what about preaching in the street. We've all seen the person who is talking about Jesus in a town, suffering verbal abuse as he or she tries to get the message over. It is not easy I know. I have done this and been shouted at, moved on by the law but I have felt excited by it all. Let's face it, this is just what the Early Church did. They didn't wait for the people to come to them, they went to the people.

Is this something you could do? If not, why not try to listen to peoples problems and just bring Jesus into it all and go for the victory. If you don't tell them, what if no one else will either? Not everyone is a preacher or an evangelist either. But we all have the ability to speak to someone who is going through a bad time, offering pray for them or just telling them about Jesus.

Does this sound freaky? If so, there has been a lot of freaky people over the years
