| WHY SEEK? |

19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION, "DO YOU SEEK SO JESUS CAN SAVE?" IS YOUR PRAYER,"LORD SHOW ME WHERE TO SEEK, SO YOU MAY SAVE?" MOST OF YOU MAY SAY. "WELL, WE HAVE A TIME SET ASIDE FOR DOOR KNOCKING." THAT'S NOT WAHT I ASKED. DO YOU SEEK SO JESUS CAN SAVE? SEEK MEANS TO GO IN SEARCH OF, TO ON A QUEST, TO SEARCH FOR BY GOING FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
GOD COMMANDED US TO GO (MATTHEW 28:19-20). SO IT'S NOT ABOUT, "I'M AFRAID" OR "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO" OR "I HAVE NO TIME." NO! GOD SAID, "GO!" IT'S A COMMAND, AND ORDER. THERE SHOULD BE NO HESITATIONS. JUST GO SEEK SO JESUS CAN SAVE!
WHY SEEK? BECAUSE IT IS WISE (PROVERBS 11"30b). LOOK REALLY CLOSE AT WHAT IT SAYS,"....HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE." IT DOESN'T SAY HE THAT HAS THE BIGGEST BUILDING OR BEST PROGRAMS!YOU KNOW, ALL THESE THINGS ARE GOOD, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEM, BUT IF YOU HAD NONE OF THEM, YOU COULD STILL SEEK SO JESUS CAN SAVE. SO ARE YOU?
WHY SEEK? BECAUSE THE LABORERS ARE FEW (LUKE 10:2). I JUT WANTED TO REMIND YOU GOD DID NOT GIVE US THE GOSPEL TO HIDE IT. DO YOU HAVE A BURDEN TO SEEK SO JESUS CAN SAVE?IF YOU DO, THEN DO IT. IF NOT, PRAY AND ASK THE LORD TO GIVE IT TO YOU. IT KEILLS ME WHEN WE GO DOOR KNOCKING AND SOMEONE WILL SAY, "ARE YOU A MORMON OR JEHOVAH WITNESS?" "NO, WE'RE BAPTIST." "WHAT?! BAPTIST GO DOOR TO DOOR?!"WHAT HAPPENED? THERE USE TO BE A TIME WHEN DOOR KNOCKING WAS A BAPTIST THING.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. BUY A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, AND SEE HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO WEAR THEM OUT SEEKING SO JESUS CAN SAVE.
