Hey everybody,
So today we toured the Jamestown settlement recreation. It presented a lot of good information, most impressive was the effort the settlers went through to find refuge for the Christian faith in the new world. The journey alone was intense enough for most. There were 105 men in a space 50yds long and 20yd wide and the crew wouldn’t allow passengers on deck due to lack of space. A person considered themselves lucky to be in a boat (especially if you were poor), with no windows, with very little food, very humid hot conditions, no toilets, or sewage system at all (the closest thing was a bucket, that God willing, a deck hand would come throw to the sea) For many weeks you were sea sick, the whole trip you would literally be living with animals, in animal and human dung towards the end of the trip. not your typical cruise but these were men of faith coming to a new world for gold & to spread the gospel . To be honest if we were to do for God what they did for gold, we would be reaping such a harvest as this generation has ever seen. We should be willing to go through terrible conditions to further the Gospel because God sent His Son to save the sinner. If the church were to sacrifice to spread the gospel we would see much less evil in our world and we would see a generations of faith hope and Love rise up. This is the challenge to the Christian SPREAD THE GOSPEL WITHOUT FEARING MAN & START FEARING GOD !

ReplyDeleteSounds like a great commission to me... Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen. My prayer to you all is that God would lead you as embassadors for Him and that you would be salt and light to a very dark world in which we live. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
