IN OUR ORDINARY LIFE
Today=we have ONE
Of the great quotes from Jesus=
We are commissioned to be
MODERN DAY DISCIPLES
By Jesus=himself
And to promote the gospel
IN OUR ORDINARY LIFE
“Go into the WHOLE WORLD
And PROCLAIM the gospel
Th every CREATURE” Mark 16:15
The WHOLE WORLD doesn't mean
We have to go to
Cities=all over the world
In Asia-Africa and Europe
We can PREACH the gospel
ANYWHERE we are=
In OUR ORDINARY LIFE
We can do it=we can
LIVE IT=in our churches
In our homes=
To anyone and everyone
Right WHERE we are
IN OUR ORDINARY LIFE
“What good will it be
For someone=to gain
The WHOLE WORLD
Yet forfeit their soul?
Or what can anyone give
In exchange for their soul?” Matthew 16:26
“........so that every mouth
May be silenced
And the WHOLE WORLD
Held accountable to God” Romans 3:19
And PROCLAIM means more
Than shouting form
The street corners=
Or preaching a sermon
About God
We can give someone
OUR TIME=and listen
To their problems
Give them a HELPING HAND
With an issue=they have
In their life
Or SEND someone
An ENCOURAGING card
Or an e-mail=
Or just be PRAYING
For someone=and their problems
There are any NUMBER
Of things we can do=for someone
With and IN
OUR ORDINARY LIFE
“PROCLAIM the power of God-
Whose majesty=is over Israel=whose power
Is in the heavens” Psalm 68:34
And EVERY CREATURE=doesn't mean
We have to be a missionary=
And reach out
To the REMOTE AREAS
Of the world
We can INCLUDE our gospel MESSAGE
To our family members=
To our friends and neighbors
And EVERYONE=
We come into CONTACT WITH
“How many are your works=
Lord!=In wisdom
You made them all=
The earth us full
OF YOUR CREATURES” Psalm 104:24
There are some of us
Who are called out
And preach
ALL OVER the world
But MOST of us
Are called to love and LIVE
The GOSPEL
Right here at home
Right here=IN
OUR ORDINARY LIVES
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our HOLY FATHER=who loves us ALL!
