Open Your Eyes and See the Harvest!

I have had numerous pastors tell me in the past: Bro David, everyone here has heard the gospel before! They say this after they have been challenged to reach out and evangelize.

In the average town and city of the Bible belt, less than 20% of the population can actually be found in church on Sunday morning. It is probably closer to 10%, depending on where you live.

For how long has this been going on? For over 30 years this has been happening and we are now at an all time low. Wake up my brothers! Lift up your eyes for the harvest is ripe, now!

In the last several weeks we have lead several individuals to Christ from the age of 20 something to 40 something and the majority of these have never been in church (not once), never owned a Bible, and never read a Bible. It was just like as if I were in some foreign country like Mongolia! Do you know where I was? In the Bible belt! In a small town of 20 thousand or less. There are dozens of churches within an easy drive all around me. All of them preach salvation, more or less. But very few of them do evangelism.

For over 30 years the only ones that went out evangelizing were the JW's. Because of the JW's many of us quit going door-to-door. We left the harvest to the enemy. So we built our beautiful church buildings and said, "they will come if we build it!" Few came.

Now is the day of salvation! Now is the time to go out and evanglize. Don't miss it! Open your eyes and see the harvest. It's everywhere!
David
