I don't know which one bothers me the most, the fact that I go through life with hardly any concern for lost people or when things get bad in the lives of people I know there is a last ditch effort to try and witness to them.  This is troubling to me.  Does it bother you?  I'm not sure about you, maybe you have it all together and proclaim and live the Gospel 24/7, but I don't.  I'm sure there are a lot of reasons we could think of but I think one stands out above the rest, we don't really know whats at stake.  We may say we do and even read about it in the Bible, but do we really?  I think this is especially true in America and we don't even act on it until its too late. 

Someone who worked on my team died of Cancer earlier this week.  He was 43 years old and I don't have a clue where he is.  This greatly troubles me.  There are times (more than I want to remember) where I'm really good at making excuses or procrastinating and then something like this happens and its too late.  We have plenty of examples and strategies and techniques and how to guides to be more than effective in our witness for Christ, but do we take advantage of all our resources?  I would say probably not and yet after a few short minutes of reflection and silence I quickly move on with life as if nothing happened.  How can I?  Something is terribly wrong!  Something must change! 

I want the same heart God has for people.  There are people all around us who often times don't have it as good as you and I and they need someone who will just care about them.  If we say we care and don't tell them about Jesus then we probably don't care.  The question that remains when all the guilty feelings are subsided is what am I (you too) going to do about it?  Are we going to finally be obident to the Lord Jesus and live the Gospel and make disciples or are we going to allow them to never hear what Jesus has done and can do in their lives or are we going to be lazy and never let them slip into a Christless eternity in Hell.  The choice is yours.
