As some of you who know me I am 73+ years of age. I have seen many technological advances some good and some not so good. But, the biggest changes I have witnessed is the downhill plunge of spirtuality in our country. As I tailgate for Jesus I meet people who have not the faintest idea of a relationship with God.
Now, remember I was not saved until I was 51. But, I believe I knew there was a spiritual God. I didn't know who Jesus was or why He came and died for me, but I still had a sense of right and wrong as well as a Heaven and hell. We had prayer everyday in school and nobody complained about it. We also learned about respect for others and their property.
I was out just last week and talking to a successful business man the conversation went something like this. After I offered him a bible and a religious tract, he refused both. So, I asked him if he were to die tonight did he believe he would go to Heaven? He said what wrong with just turning into dirt.. I'll probably see him again some day but, it was just another reminder of where we have come to.
Easter is coming along with some warmer weather. Many people have heard the Gospel this winter. And, I try to get these people introduced to a local bible church. Although evangelism is necessary it is only the first step in their growth. They need to be Descipled and incorporated into a church family.
I found the pocket testament league and ordered a bunch of stuff and some tracts from ATS. Everyone needs Jesus and I will be trying in prayer and effort to reach a few.
God Bless,
Larry
