That Really Bothers Me

I regularly have people tell about things that really bother them. Often it is about politics, or the news media, or COVID, or the Middle East situation, or finance, or work, and on the list of injustices and problems go that bother people.

But what bothers me most is the number of people that I know that haven’t trusted in Christ as their savior, the number who will spend all eternity in hell if nothing changes. Many of them I know well, I like them and spend time with them, some are family members that I love, but they are lost, blind, spiritually dead.

What really bothers me is my inability to break through their shell, their resistance, their indifference, their blindness. Here I am the veteran pastor, the Bible scholar, the radio preacher and I can’t convince so many different people to believe in and follow Jesus as Lord of their life.

I will pray harder and longer for those I know that don’t know Jesus as their savior.

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God for them is for their salvation.

    It seems like it’s always harder when a family member is at stake. I suppose it has to with how much we love them and how we don’t want them to suffer by going to hell

    Thank you for the reminder of what is really important to be bothered about. One thing though, it isn’t our responsibility to make them believe it is the Holy Spirit that will break down their barriers. Love your blog!
