Urgency

Is there a sense of urgency in our lives? Egypt is in the news daily because of the constant protests by it's citizens trying to overthrow the existing government. Churches are called to pray for this nation, as we are called to do by Paul in 1Tim.2:1-3. But as there is a growing sense of urgency over what is happening in Egypt, is there an equal or even greater sense of urgency over what is happening to souls all over the world. We believe that God is sovereign and all things are under his control yet the bible also makes it very clear that he called the church to be the salt and light to this dark world. It is my peace time mentality that causes me to live desiring to seek what brings the most peace and comfort in my life. I am challenged this morning to consider carefully the battle that is waging against the souls of men today. The call to Christians is a call to have peace with God that we may have the peace of God while becoming peace makers for God with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Lord, give me a sense of urgency to preach the gospel to the lost.
