hey guys (= just wanna share with you a story i heard a few days ago. its about Evangelism.
a fireman was charged in court for neglect of duty. one day he was in the fire-engine while the building, next to him, was burning. the cries of a family of five were drowned out by the music from the CD player in the engine which the fireman had turned on. as he listen to his new stereo, a young mother,carrying her few-months-old child jumped out of the window. her husband and two older children jumped out too, but the flames had already consumed them. in court, the fireman stated that he had gotten the CD player as a gift for the fire-chief. the fire-chief said that this made him feel betrayed.
what do you think is the proper punishment for this crime?
if we do not spread the gospel, we become like the fireman, neglecting our duty as Christians and letting our loved ones and others around us die. the fire-chief is like God. if we give excuses like 'oh i was doing something else for God' , its like betrayal because we either dont mean it, or we simply think whatever the "thing" is, is much more important than the fact that God has called us to spread His love with all those that still dont know Him.
so how can we, as people who are like the fireman himself, to give a punishment ?
i guess the only way to help ourselves, is to help others, right?
