Most Christians come in contact with hundreds of people every day that are lost and on their way to hell; and, for the most part, those Christians really don't give a #&#?@! What bothers me the most about this, is that most of you are bothered by the second statement that I made more than you are by the first statement. It would really bother you if I would have pecked out an expletive. I hope this is of some "shock value" to some of the people that are reading this blog. The sad truth is that many Christians are more interested in self preservation than they are with the lost that they cross paths with every day. We live in a day that people are inundated with more information than ever before. Yet, with all of the information, people have more questions than answers concerning the issues of life and its meaning. The answers that they find are many times the wrong answers, propagated by vain philosophies and teaching. Jesus said those are like blind people being led around by the blind. They are Lost and have no knowledge as to where to turn to find direction. Those are the people that we, as believers, have been called to reach out to.
But, Do you care? Do you care enough to be the life of Jesus Christ to a Lost, hell-bound world? Or, does your Christianity consist of a life that focuses simply on survival? Save yourself while everybody else goes to hell! If that's the case, you're probably a little aggravated with me right now.
I hope this post has ignited some emotions within your life. You may think it is unnecessary to use a ploy like the one used to start this post. I hope that you do get a little 'rattled' with these thoughts. But, more than anything, I hope you are upset over one thing - The Lost!

Great post pastor and I agree with you. A lot of the church are woried about themselves drowning instead of those who cant swim. We have a life vest as a beliver, the lost doesn't. I think that if our faith remains in Christ we can step out of the boat and reach out our hands without sinking. Some people feel that if they get to close, the lost will pull them down. I personally believe that God will not let the boat sink when he is on it or in us. It's a change of heart and a place of faith.
