Mark My Word

In 2 Timothy 2:4, the Apostle Paul delivers: 'Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; correct, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.' Paul had his reasons for delivering this message: so many people are seeking answers to spiritual problems that confront them and the pulpit cannot be the only platform to satisfy that thirst. Wilferd Peterson, an American author, once wrote: 'The world needs less heat and more light. It needs less of the heat of anger, revenge, retaliation, and more of the light of ideas, faith, courage, inspiration, joy, love and hope.' Yes, there is the gift of eternal life and those groping in the dark must be aware of it. Such is the absolute fulfillment of the Great Commission our Savior entrusted us to do and it is our duty as Christians to respond to that command. If there are blessings that litter our paths as children of God, we have to share those blessings with others and let the Holy Spirit ginger them into action. 'In the same way, there is joy in the presence of God's angels when even one sinner repents' (Luke 15:10). ''From the 'Introduction' to Mark My Word
