A Call to Rescue

Published: Oct. 2, 2020, 7 a.m.

It’s easy to hear pastors or evangelists like me say, “Go share the Gospel!” and think, “Sure, Andrew, I do intend to get to that later.” In fact, there have been times in my own life when I didn’t see the urgency in sharing the Good News. In almost every situation, it is easier to remain quiet than to boldly proclaim Christ. But the reality is, the Gospel is an urgent message. People need to hear about Jesus today. In a very joyful, clear, and bold way. The Bible relates the importance of sharing the Good News in Proverbs 24:11, saying, “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Before I knew Christ this was me and I was desperate. At any moment, something could happen to any of us. This happened to me in a plane crash in 2009. Life here is fragile and temporary. So consider who in your life still needs to hear about Jesus. Who has yet to accept Him into their hearts? Pray for an insight about who you could talk to. Then, be bold! Share God’s message. The best place to start is by telling what God has done in your life. In that way you will reach your world with the Good News today. I encourage you to do it. This is Andrew Palau.
