Luke 10: 2 – “Then He
said to them, ‘The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore
pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.’”
There is no denying that there is a battle waging for the
souls of men and women. The word tells us as much. But the New Testament also
tells us that Jesus has already proclaimed victory over sin and death. The
outcome has already been determined in eternal and Heavenly terms. So why do we
who believe that the war is won feel the need to continue to beat our
plowshares into swords? It’s time to return to the fields and begin to reap the
harvest. It is time to trust the Master who sends us into the fields.
Luke 10: 19-20 –
“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and
over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but
rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
Our main task in missions isn’t fighting Satan; he has no
authority over us anyway. Our task is carrying out the Lord’s will. Jesus will
handle the conflicts and clashes. What we are tasked with is reaching the lost.
Grace and Peace be
with you today.

I'm always glad to hear from people who have taken time to read the posts here... even those who may not agree with me. I have had to make changes in the way I handle comments for this blog. They will all be subject to moderation from here on in. And as this is a personal blog and I have sole responsibility for its upkeep, it may take me a while to clear a post. I only ask 2 things from those who would leave comments.
1.) Please give your name. I have posted under mine, not anonymously or with a user name that would hide my identity. I would hope if someone was going to share an opinion, thought, criticism, or atta boy, that they would do so without fear of being identified so we can have an open dialogue.
2.) Please be respectful in the use of your language. Any cuss words, slurs, or other specifically vitriolic language will result in your comments not being posted. This is simply an attempt to keep a civil and life affirming tone for this space.
Thanks! And remember... Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss things. But small minds talk about people. Let's try to be great together.
