Weeping for the Lost

Tuesday, January 25, 2005 Share: |

This past weekend at LST, we spent some reflective time in our team thinking about the lost. It wasn't a manipulation to try and get us to weep, but it was encouragement for us to find ways to weep for the lost. The more we shared and thought about this, the more I thought about the campus here, not Argentina (as important as that is!). We talked about how hard it is to weep because we don't want to think about our friends and classmates and roommates dying without Christ. We are also so busy with many distractions that these prevent us from thinking about eternal things. I assure you that the greatest problem in college students' lives is not financial aid or GPA or who they are taking out on a date Friday night. Our greatest problem is sin.

This is part of the reason I have included prayer for missions on Tuesday night. We must learn to weep for the lost again if we are to care enough to reach out to them and offer Jesus.

Thanks for the words of encouragement Casey. It really helps. Expecially when one thinks that their GPA is the most important thing in the world.

God Bless
