In all of human history, there has never, ever been a more fantastic time to be alive!
I understand this is a sinful and dark world. I understand sin is getting worse and worse. However, from the creation of Adam, to the present hour there has never been such a time as this to preach Christ to the world.
Last September I was able to travel to three Central American and Caribbean countries in less than two weeks and preach in five mission churches. One of the churches was in a small indigenous village in Panama. I preached a salvation message (in Spanish) and a young man trusted Christ. After the service another man offered to take me over the misty mountains to other far off and isolated villages. I wanted to stay, hike through the virgin forests and reach people who have not yet been reached yet for Christ!
Soon, I believe, I will be able to go. The Lord will provide. He always has. He always will. We truly believe that God’s will done God’s way will never lack God’s supply. (That’s a Hudson Taylor quote.)
There has never been a greater time to be alive. There has never been a greater time to reach the easy-to-reach for Christ right in our neighborhoods. There has never been a better time to reach the hard-to-reach around the world.
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. —Ephesians 6:18-20
