Summary: I come across people all the time who say, "Wow, you are so important. You share the Good News of Jesus Christ with thousands of people." Each time I hear this I cringe. While it is a blessing to share the Gospel every day, evangelists and pastors are neither more important than others nor is their calling any higher.In fact, I'd like to tell you a story... I have a friend in Vietnam who is an engineer. He designed a communication device, like our radio, that could share the Good News with thousands. Then, a businessman financed the operation. Sure, an evangelist shared the Good News, but if it hadn't been for the engineer and the businessman, the evangelist would have no audience and many would not have heard the Good News on that day.God has you where you are for a reason. There is a task in His Kingdom that he wants accomplished through YOU. God has given you gifts, talents, and abilities for a reason. Paul says in Philemon, "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ." That challenge is just as important to you, in your place of life, as it is for me. Take it seriously today.
