The ONE thing that will wake me up at night is thinking about the thousands of people in Noble County who are headed to a Christ-less eternity!
I had an opportunity to beg and implore the congregation of Legacy Church this past Sunday to make sure they have a right standing with Jesus. Nothing on earth is more important!
There are approximately 47,618 people that live in Noble County and 72% have no religious affiliation. That's 34,284 people who aren't connected to any church or religious organization!
The town of Kendallville has a population of close to 10,000 people within it's city limits AND there are over 7,000 unchurched people within our town alone!
The thought of the majority of the town that I live in going to a place of darkness, wailing and gnashing of teeth, and torment forever is almost unbearable at times. My heart stirs and my mind races just thinking about it.
One thing I have begun is a prayer journal exclusively for lost people. Any time I meet anyone who doesn't know Jesus their name gets written in my prayer journal that I pray regularly through. I do my best to pray, contact, and invite those individuals to Legacy Church.
The last thing I want accused of by someone who spends eternity without Jesus is that I never told them the truth!
On the flip side, when people come to Jesus that should bring joy and excitement. It's part of the reason why God has left His church on earth still so that we could see more people come to know Jesus!
This past Sunday we celebrated new life and changed lives through Jesus by baptisms. This is not the end, but the beginning!
There should be joy when people come to know Jesus!
Families celebrating God's goodness!
Will probably be one of my favorite baptism pictures of all time!
