THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
A couple were building a new house.
The husband came to look at the progress, and saw the paper that was being hung on the walls.
He asked the paperhanger, "Who told you to put THAT on the walls?"
Paperhanger, "Your wife, sir."
Husband, "Looks good doesn't it?"

2 Cor 5:18-19
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
KJV

The greatest need in America today is for Christians to be personally involved in
"the ministry of reconciliation!"
That is the mission of each individual Christian and the purpose of the church today.
The "Doctrine of the Laity" needs to be taught more in our churches.
One day, Napoleon looked at a map. He pointed to China and said, "There lies a
sleeping giant! If it ever awakes, it could be unstoppable!"
Friends, that is what the church is today: a sleeping giant!
And, if the church will awaken today to the realness of God's purpose for her, the
ENTIRE WORLD will be changed!
To see things changed in the world, we need to share the message that will change the world, one person at a time! It is the message that God wants to "reconcile" lost sinners to Himself, through the salvation offered in Jesus Christ!
Are you being about the "ministry?"
Love ya,
