Listen "My Selfish Self | The Urgency of Evangelism"
Episode Synopsis
Today we look at the main reasons we christians do not share our faith.
As we look at the reality of Eternity we can see that there is, and should always be, a urgency on the lost souls of those in our worlds. But we certainly don't act like there are souls on fire all around us! If belief drives action, then what are our beliefs about our neighbors?
C.S Lewis (although I can't find the reference so it may be by someone else) said that if we heard of half another countries population being wiped out by an atomic bomb we would be sad and grieve and talk about how short life really is for a short time, but we would all most likely sleep soundly in our beds that night, however if a man stubs his toe he will toss and turn all night in that pain. We, as humans, have a very small capacity for empathy and compassion.
How can we develop and foster an Eternal Worldview?
Matthew 6:33 says But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Selfishness and Focusing on earthly things will keep us from having an Eternal and Biblical Worldview, and only God can give us a heart and compassion for the eternal souls of those around us. Mindset is redeemed through Gods word, through worship and through prayer.
The Ironman Creed:
1. We are driven by the Love of Christ for God's Glory (2 Corinthians 5:14-17)
2. We are comfortable in the uncomfortable. (Romans 1:16)
3. We are stronger together. (Proverbs 27:17)
4. We believe, therefore we do. (Romans 1:17)
