Sometimes I can read over things in the word of God and treat them so casually. But, when I consider this statement from Acts 17:30-31, I am taken back: God commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has ordained. THIS IS REALLY TRUE! This very moment, God commands the mail man, the doctor, the President, the college professor, the machinist, the pregnant mother, the grandmother, the Supreme Court Justices, your fellow workers, all your unsaved friends, YES, EVERYONE to repent. Judgment is coming. They must know it, but they only will know it if ordinary Christians like you and me will tell them.
I had to go to the root canal dentist on Monday to share the gospel with the folks who were there. While I was there, I got a root canal. What fun! I was able to get tracts into the hands of four of the staff, a copy of One Heartbeat Away from Eternity into the hand of the receptionist (I got a guarantee that she would read it), and a copy of More Than a Carpenter into the hand of the dentist (before he got my mouth open, I also got a guarantee from him to read it!). Why? Simply because, if they don’t know Jesus, they are perishing. I want them to know the truth.
