Are the Lost Truly Lost?
Inclusivism suggests that since Christ is the solution it would not be fair for God to condemn those who never knew they had a problem, and, since we know he is good and fair, surely God would never condemn those who never had a chance to receive Christ. It would feel nice if this were the case, and we could assume most people are heaven-bound with a right relationship with God through their best efforts; however, those who preach the gospel would be pretty deplorable, the worst enemies of mankind—spreading the “good news” would be sending people to hell! But what does the Bible say about this inclusive logic?
The Ministry of the Military Chaplain
The military will get chaplains but how many that enter will serve God and allow for the Bible to be their ultimate authority? The military is in need of godly men prepared, ready, and willing to share the gospel. Ezekiel issued a challenge to the men of Israel to stand in the gap in Ezekiel 22:30 saying, “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.” I hope and pray that other men will join me to stand in the gap while Jesus delays his return.
The Other Judas
From the one mention of Judas speaking, we see that Thaddaeus had a desire to see others have the same opportunity that he had. He wanted people to know Jesus Christ because he had a heart for those who were without a relationship with the Savior.
Don’t Get Distracted
Christian, please don’t let the devil win in your life by distracting you from the real mission of winning souls. Don’t lower yourself and abandon your high calling just so you can fight for an earthly kingdom. Our true, eternal citizenship is in heaven.
People are Strange: Evangelism on the High Street
It is legitimately strange (as in not common) for someone today to be truly interested in Christ. Not religion, not companionship, not understanding the universe, but Christ. That is the most beautiful kind of strange that exists, and I live to find these people.
The Blessing of Unity
I can't help but think that the world would give anything to see people from all walks of life live together in genuine love, unity, and peace. This is what Christ has given us, and it is so very precious.
