A WORD TO THOSE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS It is a great tragedy that millions today are blinded by sin, and the devil rules them without their knowledge. Sadly many are children. In part, the fault lies at the door of the church in every generation that has failed to obey the Lord. The poem that follows is a wake up call to us! Hear O Church Oh the wonderous love of Jesus when He came to save, Oh the mystery of His glorious victory o'er the grave, Oh the awesome weight we carry who would do His will, Oh the sinful hearts that hear Him and reject Him still, As we hear His awful warning to a sinful race, Can we sleep while men are dying at an awful pace? Can we rest while souls are feeding on the husks of life? Can we see the millions lost and stay back from the strife? Now the Master sends a call to those who bear His name, Will we listen and obey, or hang our heads in shame? When the roll is called up yonder, will we meet someone, Who, through our response to Him has come to know God's Son? Brethren let us rise above the little things that keep, Us from running to the battle for the Lord's lost sheep, Let's go on nor fear of dying keep us from the strife, Snatching many from hell's fires to eternal life. Let us fight, with banners flying, every evil foe, Shouting victory, striking boldly, never letting go, Striking out with strong assurance in that Blessed One, Who will bring us to the kingdom with a sweet "Well Done." Was a higher call e'er given? --- I must answer NO! Do we wish to fail Him now, who has loved us so? Oh eternal, matchless glory --- How can we delay? Let us give our all for Jesus! Let's begin today! C. R. Lord I just finished watching a video showing the terrible calamities that fall upon the earth from time to time in the form of earthquakes, floods, avalanches, typhoons, hurricanes, raging fires, tornadoes and more. It seemed to me as I watched the horror and devastation that the film was overlooking one very important consideration. Hundreds of thousands of peolple were dying all over the world through these tragedies and yet the larger tragedy of those who went out into eternity lost and without hope never entered the picture or the mind of the videos creator. I am not surprised that the secular media that created the program missed this most important fact, but I am appalled that those of us who call ourselves Christians would probably view this video and be totally oblivious to the very same thing. The body of Christ in this generation has become stagnant, fat, lazy and comfortable in a generation that very desperately needs to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ presented to them in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. I would not be surprised to hear the words uncharitable, self-righteous, and like epithets hurled at me in the writing of these words, but were I to seek to please man then I would no longer be the servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10) Certainly such an accusation as I bring must be substantiated before it can be given any credibility, but in order for it to be substantiated it must be at least objectively examined in the light of current events or the lack thereof.
