People Need the Lord

In 1994, Steve Green wrote a song called "People Need the Lord." I remember how that song touched me deep down in my heart as I thought of all of the hurting people across this globe who need Jesus. It has always been a special song to me and it seems like I remember singing it at the church we went to in Brunswick. Although this song is 15 years old, its' message continues to be so true and to weigh heavily on my heart.

Every day in the news, our tv's show us one story after another of murder sprees, stabbings, drugs, violence and the like. We all sit with our mouths open as we listen to the horrendous stories in disbelief. How could someone kill a family member or anyone for that matter? How can someone randomly shoot a gun killing children with no thought at all of the lives they are taking? How is it possible that man could do such horrible things??? How can so many lives be so twisted and warped? How can people be so blind to their actions???

Everywhere around us are hurting people...people who need us to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We pass them by on the street and never notice them. They are everywhere....strangers, friends and family who need the Lord. When will we realize that they need the Lord and do something about it?

Right here in our county, we all know someone who needs the Lord. Let us all be about the Father's business and reach out to someone who needs to know the joy that only Jesus can bring. Today is the day...the hour is now.

PEOPLE NEED THE LORD......PEOPLE NEED THE LORD...........PEOPLE NEED THE LORD

Can they count on you?
