Apparently, nearly 9 out of 10 people believe they are going to heaven, but many of them don't know and/or don't care why. That’s a scary thought.

Our job as Christian is to go out and explain to the lost how they can trully be saved, but we are up against what seems to be the impossible. People that do not want to know the true way to Christ.

With this mind set Satan’s job becomes fairly easy. He does not have to go out and convert people to his ways. All he simple has to do is stretch the truth a little. Make people believe that they are saved when in fact their not. If 65.5% of people feel like living a good life is all they have to do in order to be saved then Satan has won the victory in the battle of their soul.

As you go out this week realize that the field is ripe for finding the lost. Yes, you may be turned down by those that simply do not care why or how to go to heaven. Don’t let Satan us the fear of rejection to silence you.

Love,
Joe
