Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and
preach the gospel to every creature.
Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of
the Holy Spirit, "teaching them to observe all things that I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Amen.
The
world has many causes: Save the Whales, Save the Trees, Fight Global Warming,
Go Green, Animal Rights, Gay Rights, and the list goes on. Causes are
important to the world. But what does "cause" really mean? Part
of the definition of cause is "a producer of an effect." If
one is part of a cause, one becomes a producer of an effect.
What is your cause? Is it the ultimate cause, the cause of Christ, who
produced the ultimate effect: salvation? We have been commissioned to
let the world know! We are in this to save the planet, but for reasons
other than that of the world. We are not talking about saving a few pandas
in China; we are talking about saving people all over the world from eternal
global warming! It is time that Christians take on Christ's cause with
fervor and zeal to rival the world's activists! mt
