Urgent gospel
Faustino de Jesús Zamora VargasWe will never know if it is God's time until we offer our time to Him. It is easy to say that the world is in ruins, but difficult to put on the construction suit to rebuild it. The gospel is the best clothing, the best tool, the best brick. I see him frequently on my missionary journeys. Idolaters who surrender to Christ by the power of the Spirit, adulterers who rebuild their marriages, atheists who embrace the faith. The gospel is the power of God (Ro 1.16), not our power. Our duty is to preach it. The preaching has its problem and it is that we are not consistent with the faith that we say we have. Many say they have a passion for the lost, but that is not enough. Passion is nothing if it is not put into practice, if it is not translated into compassion and ultimately into action. It is a matter of practical faith.
The first dilemma of the Christian is faith. The first question of a Christian who disposes his heart to serve God is: -Lord, what do you want from me? How do you want to use me? - You can be sure that God will be delighted to answer you and will take care of redeeming the time you need to serve Him, fix the agendas you have conceived and put a flood of joys in your heart. God has a sown field around you, but He is in need of laborers who hold the Bible in one hand and the plow in the other to do the harvest. Faith and practice; in that order.
