Indeed, it is probably just a statistical fact, that 1 out of Jesus' 12 was not a confessing believer -- hence, it's likely a similar percentage in whatever communal setting we find ourselves in. That is a scary thing to think about, especially to consider those friends in our own churches. It was something that was mentioned in Monday's Systematic I class w/Dr.Moore -- people who think they are Christians but unfortunately do not bear the marks or fruit of one. Certainly, our prayers for their salvation also. SDG. Thanks for that reminder, Hank.

How challenging it is to see life "outside the camp"! Just a tag along with that however: we should take care never to come to the place where we believe our "Geneva" is all squared away. Southern has its own sinners to deal with as well, and I'd even venture to say that there are a few lost men and women on this very campus. Even out of the 12 men who spent 3 year with Christ himself, one of them never "was of them". This should never dull our evangelist passions, but it should remind us that lostness has no geographic, economic, or academic boundaries. Sin penetrates the hearts of all men, even seminarians...

It makes me sad that I do not feel a true burden to do this without the impetus of other rewards (fulfilling a quota). Yet, I believe that "my Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones whould be lost" (Matt. 18:14). Please, burden our hearts, Lord!

I want to print it out to read but the computer in my left hand side has been turned off. So I can't print it our. Can you change the background to write instead. I need to go to bed and will read it tomorrow. M Hi, Alex,

I want to read what you write everyday but it is hard for me because the background is blue. I want to print it out to read but the computer in my left hand side has been turned off. So I can’t print it our.

Can you change the background to write instead.

I need to go to bed and will read it tomorrow.
