TRUE SONS OF GOD HAVE THEIR BOOTS ON THE GROUND continued. - 27
James 5:7 says, "Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain." This Scripture is an apt conclusion to the Orange Pickers' Parable. Did you check it out yesterday at http://bobzehr.com/id35.htm?
The truth is that if we put more boots on the ground instead of going to more conventions, the harvest of the precious fruit would come into the kingdom quicker. The truth dammed up in Christians who care little about sharing it with their neighbors cannot accomplish the task of gathering in the harvest.
We must pray that God would graciously grant to us a new fervor for lost souls. Many of us political conservatives are incensed and indignant that our leaders are ignoring and trashing our Constitution and Founding Documents. Yet, the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations is neglected and overlooked by us every day.
Lip service is not "boots on the ground."
Be encouraged.
