My dear friend,

Jesus clearly proclaims the only true way to build the Church is to preach the Gospel.  “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).

The Church is the body of Christ.  Only those who are born again belong to the Church, or the body of Christ. 

Sinners who attend church are not true believers.  Consequently, sinners are not part of the body of Christ.  Jesus boldly proclaims to sinners: “Ye must be born again”  (John 3:7).  Sinners are lost souls who need salvation.

Entertainment, free breakfast, and other tricks and gimmicks used by churches will not save lost souls.  Sinners may attend church because of these gimmicks, but attending church does not save them.  No one will enter the gates of heaven because of church attendance. 

Nonetheless, the modern pastor wants sinners to feel good when they come to church.  So, modern preachers refuse to preach against sin.  Sadly, many men and women attending church are enslaved to a daily life of sin:  booze, cigarettes, drugs, pornography, vanity, greed, laziness, and other sins contrary to the Law of God.  

The truth is that no matter how often the sinner attends church or how often the sinner professes to be a Christian, he is a slave of sin.  And a slave of sin is not a child of God. A slave of sin is a child of the devil:  “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.  Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (I John 3: 8, 9).

My dear friend, we must reach out and preach the gospel message of salvation and deliverance to all slaves of sin.  We must bring lost souls to Christ.  For this reason, I have written the message “Deliverance: There is Power in the Blood" to be printed and distributed for evangelism.

Do you truly care about those in bondage to sin? 

Will you reach out to those condemned to eternal damnation?

Will you reach out with true compassion to those whose daily lives are consumed with misery and shame?

When Jesus saw the multitudes, He was moved with true compassion. The Good Shepherd saw the flock scattered and neglected and uncared for.  The spiritual false shepherds of Israel were feeding themselves, and not the flock. They did not heal the sick, bind up the broken, or seek the lost.  False shepherds have a false compassion.  But The Good Shepherd, moved with true compassion, said to His disciples: “The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest” (Matthew 9:37, 38).

My dear friend, we are all called to be home or foreign missionaries.  We are all called to obey the Great Commission and spread the Gospel abroad and at home – even in our hometown. 

If you have true compassion for the homeless begging on the street corner, you won’t give him money to buy booze, drugs, and cigarettes. You won’t financially support his sins! This is false compassion! If you have true compassion, you’ll witness to him! 

Unquestionably, if you have true compassion for all who are children of the devil, you’ll preach to them the gospel message of repentance and salvation - the true hope of deliverance.  “Ye must be born again.” 

My dear friend, will you join me in singing the old missionary hymn “Speak, My Lord”?  (You may access musical accompaniment to the song @ http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/s/p/speakmyl.htm

Hear the Lord of harvest sweetly calling,
“Who will go and work for Me today?
Who will bring to Me the lost and dying?
Who will point them to the narrow way?”

Refrain

Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I’ll be quick to answer Thee;
Speak, my Lord, speak, my Lord,
Speak, and I will answer, “Lord, send me.”

When the coal of fire touched the prophet,
Making him as pure, as pure can be,
When the voice of God said, “Who’ll go for us?”
Then he answered, “Here I am, send me.”

Refrain

Millions now in sin and shame are dying,
Listen to their sad and bitter cry;
Hasten, brother, hasten to the rescue;
Quickly answer, “Master, here am I.”

Refrain

Soon the time for reaping will be over;
Soon we’ll gather for the harvest home;
May the Lord of harvest smile upon us,
May we hear His blessèd, “Child, well done.”

Refrain

My dear friend, will you reach out in true compassion to those around you who are dying in sin and shame?

Will you heed the Master’s call and answer, “Lord, here am I; send me”?

Faithfully serving our Lord Jesus Christ,

Karen Pansler-Lam, J.D.
