Seeking the Lord & Reaching the Lost

Our being with God is of use only as we expend its precious benefits on men. --E. M. Bounds

Monasticism was only a success when; as with the Celtic Monks, the Lollards, and Francis of Assisi; seeking God in prayer and in His Word was coupled with a missionary zeal to reach the lost with the Good News of Jesus Christ. -- Monk Preston

(35) Jesus went to every town and village. He taught in their meeting places and preached the good news about God's kingdom. Jesus also healed every kind of disease and sickness. (36) When He saw the crowds, He felt sorry for them. They were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (37) He said to his disciples, "A large crop is in the fields, but there are only a few workers. (38) Ask the Lord in charge of the harvest to send out workers to bring it in."

-- Matthew 9:35-38 (CEV)


Count it all joy. (James 1:2-4)
