You've been given a stretch of spiritual beach where Jesus has assigned you as the lifeguard, and you can be sure there are spiritually drowning people there within your reach. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/punching-holes-in-the-darkness-6023 2010-02-17T14:43:30-05:00 The lost folks around you probably won't be all that impressed with your don'ts or all the religious meetings you go to. They need to see meaningful differences in you because Christ is in you. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/Focusing-On-the-Rescue-5602 2008-07-21T12:08:58-05:00 When Jesus came, the job was clear: rescue the dying whatever it takes. Our word for today from the Word of God is Luke 19:10, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost." God's Son came here to aggressively pursue and rescue lost people like those rescuers going into the wreckage of that building. The "save" word here isn't just a theological concept - it's a rescue word as in what those rescuers did in Oklahoma City. If they didn't get to the people trapped in that building and save them, they would die.
