Rise Up! - That None Should Perish - Before Time Runs Out

A reminder of what I wrote at the top of, Rise Up - That None Should Perish

The Cry for Help:

On one side of a crevasse stands the church. On the other side the lost, those not knowing God, those not even realising they need God, but crying out for help. The church in some way oblivious to the cries, caught up in themselves and how they see things and how they choose to help, not seeing the real need and not meeting the real need.


Recently it's been shared that to myself is a continuation to this word in that those that are lost are falling over the edge of the crevasse. As the title suggests, I believe and with urgency that God is calling his church to Rise Up! That None Should Perish. Do we hear the call? To do this it is to put our differences aside and to step into what God has called us to do. God's Word says, To love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul and with all of your mind and with all your strength. (Mark 12:30) as well, love your neighbours as yourself. (Mark 12:31) Another reads, But Seek first his kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33) I believe that it is these specific scriptures that we begin with and should follow in all that we do in our relationship with God and with others, including the lost. It is with God we step out and it will be God's Spirit that will achieve that that we all know should be and that is to reach the lost.
