Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great,
but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:2
We are in The End Times
The Harvest is ripe
There is low hanging fruit
People who are searching, listening, people who want direction,
people who are open to the Lord
Where are the workers?
Yesterday, a man said that he didn’t want to be considered weird
and he would be if he talked about eschatology,

Woe unto anyone who is ashamed of the words of our Lord
We are a peculiar people
We are supposed to stand out as unique, different
If the world hate you,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you. John 15:18
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38
Anyone who is on the earth now has been chosen for this time
It is a great honor
God help us if we refuse or fail our mission,
that is, if we fail God in what we are put here to do
We will be held accountable for our choices,
for using or not using our talents, Parable of the Talents
for using or not using our opportunities
Sharing the gospel is what we are to do
Part of the gospel is that
those who refuse the gospel will be cast into the Lake of Fire
While Jesus spoke of love,
He also spoke of Hell
He warned us of many things
That is part of what was spoken of in the Great Commission
And He said to them, “Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature.
He who believes and is baptized will be saved;
but he who does not believe will be condemned. Mark 16:15-16
See it?
“but he who does not believe will be condemned”
We can’t choose how we want to be used by God
We are to be ready in season and out
The Holy Spirit may want to use you
to reach out to someone in a particular way
Will you grieve Him?
Will you refuse because your flesh is uncomfortable?
We need to be courageous with the things of God.
The time is short and people need to hear the gospel, the entire gospel
