As In a Mirror

Do you remember seeing this in the news?

On May 30th, 2008, these pictures were taken in the Amazon region of Brazil; here the natives aim their bows at the airplane from which the pictures were taken. Apparently, no one knew this tribe was here, and outsiders have not had any known contact with them. They are “unreached.”

Also, I just read this post at Yeah, Right…

Remember this story? Made the headlines over 50 years ago: “GO YE AND PREACH THE GOSPEL” FIVE DO AND DIE. (optimistic media…) If you go to the link, read pages 10-19.

And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:14)

So how much time do we have? I tell my brothers when they get slow on their work, “Let’s move! Look alive, there! Time won’t wait for you!” What makes us Christians this time will wait for us?

Let me say this: there was one Canadian young man in the early 1900s who believed the Lord wanted him to devote his life to preach the gospel. For several years, he traveled with Harry Ironside, doing that. But when he started a family, he settled down in Portland, Oregon, and concentrated for the most part on raising his family and serving in his church. Missionaries often resided in his home, who left an effect on his four children. The only “foreign” country he went to was the United States; but he still served the Lord with all he was, and raised his children up to be soldiers of the Lord. His name was Fred Elliot; his third son was Jim Elliot.

Made me think, “What am I waiting for?”
