Cry of Lost Humanity
Can you hear the cry of a lost and dying world? Grab your wrist and feel your pulse...with every beat of your heart another soul dies and enters eternity, never hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. My soul is heavy this morning as a read the news and check my email. Everyone is busy in the kingdom but how many have we really saved from hell. The scripture teaches that we are to bear fruit and that we are blessed to be a blessing but how many people that sit on our pews every week have ever one a soul to Christ? We get so caught up in the pull of the American culture and work our fingers to the bone to have nice cars, houses, toys & vacations.
Please don't misunderstand me, I love the very same things and do my best to have a good life, but I feel the Holy Ghost pressing me this morning to remember the "cause". We are to preach this message of truth to the lost and convert the sinner. Anything short of this is a case of missed placed priorities. As you go about your day and week look for opportunities to share Jesus with the world.
I challenge you to win one soul to Christ this year.

Pastor Young,
Very good post. As I adjust to a new church and a new life I feel that sometimes I can lose focus on what my purpose is. Winning souls can be difficult when the flesh says I am tired, someone else can take care of them, I admit that those thoughts have come over me more than once, but all I have to do is remember where those nail scarred hands pulled me from, and what Jesus has done for me in the last three years. I respect you alot Pastor Young, I haven't had much time to get to know you, but the time that you have spent talking with my wife and I is appreciated. I am excited to be a member at TRC, and look forward to the rest of 2008!
May God bless you, and your family . Love, you brother in Christ, Jason "the good" Pontius
Wow...should have read this BEFORE Thursday night...anyhow, I posted a little bit about No Limits on my blog but wanted to be sure you and Sheila, Nanny and Bishop read it before your trip...
..."As each and every helper was acknowledged, I could not help but think to myself that yes, it takes an incredible church body to fulfill the required tasks however, unless the head that turns the neck of the body is engaged with annointing and power nothing would be accomplished. Bishop and Sis. Wilson, Pastor and Sis. Young, YOU are the ones who deserve the standing ovation of gratitude and appreciation for building such a church as TRC and allowing the saints of the most High to be become capable enough to follow your leading and passion for the cause of not only No Limits but also for continuing to fulfill the purpose of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. I LOVE my leadership immensely, I admire them wholeheartedly and I desire to be like them in every aspect that I can. So let it be known...I stand one hundred and fifty percent behind the leadership of TRC...what more could anyone ask for? Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so true. I love you."
We love you guys...we'll be praying for you during your big journey to the Holy Land!!!
