The Great Appeal



WE ARE WARPED! We often have a strange belief in God sometimes don't we? There are times that we think God is out to get us and strike us with His MIGHTY FINGER!! (que thunder) But in reality he was making his appeal through those of us who know Him to others that do not. Your love is key. You are the extension of God's love to this world. There are people all over the world right now that won't come to Christ because the true "love" that should have come from each of us, didn't. I have to commit myself to always asking myself how have I shown the love of God today to strangers, friends and even my own family.

God has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.
— 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 (NIV)


He makes His appeal THROUGH us. You are the channel, the funnel of God's love.

Today, find one person to let them know they are loved. Do that, and then we will begin to see open doors to offer God's love. If we dont love, they can possibly believe that we serve a God who is the person of Love.

I am sorry, but I dont know who is writing nor understand your feedback.

If possible, identify yourself and be more clear as to what you are commenting on (whether you agree or disagree - either way doesn't matter) but this blog is to be an encouragement to you as well as a glimpse as to what goes through my mind as a minister of the Gospel.

I welcome all to feedback just idenntify yourself if even by a first name.

Thanks!
