Revelation 7
Seize the Moment – Day 356
The Call of Evangelism in a “Glocal” World!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, March 8.
Does your faith have borders? Do you restrict the love of God? Who is your neighbor?
Listen to a glimpse of God’s Heavenly Kingdom from Revelation 7:9-10,
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
The Kingdom of God goes beyond borders!
What borders need to come down in your mind, heart, and lifestyle so that you are not limiting the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Here are just a few of the common borders that people have:
- National Citizenship
- Political Ideology
- Socioeconomic Status
- Education Level
- Religion
- Language
- Gender
- Marital Status
- Age
- Racial Identity
- Ethnic Background
- Music Preferences
- Generational Preferences
- Theological Orientation
- Denominational Affiliation
- Attire
- Technology Access, Use & Preference
Seize the moment as a citizen of Heaven and cross the borders so that you can reach the very people God is calling out to with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is the call of evangelism and as the world comes closer though technology, the global mission field is now local—it is “glocal”!
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from Romans 12:3 (NAS95), “For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”
