We need more town criers!
Keep sounding the good news, keep sounding the alarm.The great day of the LORD is near; It is near and hastens quickly. The noise of the day of the LORD is bitter; There the mighty men shall cry out. That day is a day of wrath, A day of trouble and distress, A day of devastation and desolation, A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, A day of trumpet and alarm Against the fortified cities And against the high towers.
"I will bring distress upon men, And they shall walk like blind men, Because they have sinned against the LORD; Their blood shall be poured out like dust, And their flesh like refuse." Neither their silver nor their gold Shall be able to deliver them In the day of the LORD's wrath; But the whole land shall be devoured By the fire of His jealousy, For He will make speedy riddance Of all those who dwell in the land.
(Zep 1:14-18)

No bail outs in the day of the Lord. The international bankers, oilsheiks, and global power brokers will find themselves helpless to deliver themselves, yet alone anyone else on the planet.
It is a day of judgement. A 'Come to Jesus' meeting of epic proportions. Every knee shall bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and everyone shall give account of themselves before the Lord of Lords. (Romans 14:11-12).
If you are not spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to people around you, I encourage you to join us Saturday nights at 6:00 p.m. here at our church facility. We have people from a few different churches that hope to attend, and we are going to have an 8 week series on how to witness to others. It is from the "Way of the Master", and is a very effective approach.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions. This Saturday will be a 'get ready' type of meeting at 6 and the 8 week series will start Saturday, August 8th. There is no cost, and the optional workbook is $10.
Hope many of you can make it.
The time may be short, and many people are more open to hearing the gospel then you might think. We are not called to 'make Christ followers' out of anyone, but we are called to plant the seeds.
God will bring the increase.
