We went on a little road trip today water tubing with my family. It was loads of fun and we had a blast floating down that cold river. (yes, it was cold alright) As we were floating down, I came upon a sign that was nailed to a tree that had lots and lots of flip flops on it. The sign read "Lost soles". That river was full of people everywhere of all sorts of color, and sizes. I got to thinking, I wonder how many of them have "lost souls"? Probably more than we really want to know. Then on the way home we passed another sign on the side of the highway and it clearly read "John 3:16. It didn't have the verse on it, that's all it said. Now how many people pass that sign and not know what that means? We all take it for granted that most of us were raised in church or we were at least brought to church a good bit through out our lives and we all know what that means. Our kids memorize it at a very young age and can tell you what it means very clearly. I bet a lot of people have no clue what that means. My preacher preaches very strongly about going out and knocking on doors of people in our own neighborhoods and telling them about God or just simply inviting them to church. This lead me to this conclusion, imagine what would happen if we all started knocking on doors in our neighborhoods on a regular basis, do you know how big of a difference that would make? One day a week, for about 2 hours that's all it takes to spread the word. Look at it this way, what could it hurt?
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
