A lot of people just do not want to know someone and they just want to be in a country club.
Well, you know what? The Lord Jesus Christ wasn't running a country club when he was on this earth.
He was out winning souls. He said, I came to seek and save that which was lost.
Former treaties have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
until the day in which he was taken up. After that he, through the Holy Ghost, had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen,
to whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
Knowing they're going to the fire should motivate us to get out there and preach the gospel.
If you really believe people are going to hell, why won't you go? Why? Why won't you go?
Oh, I want my mom to be saved. Save somebody else's mom, then!
I want my dad to be saved. Save somebody else's dad, then!
I want my sister to be saved. Save somebody else's sister, too!
But look what it says, and the rest of the verse says,
But his word was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones.
And I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay.
He's like, you know what, the word of God is so into my bones it's like a fire.
And I've got to preach that fire. And Jeremiah was a preacher of fire, amen.
And so we need to be like Jeremiah and be like, hey, you know what, the word of God is so important,
we need to go and preach the word of God.
And I'm not saying like being up here and preaching, but you know,
why don't you let it be a fire in your bones to go out and reach the lost and preach to the lost?
Let that word of God sink into your heart and say, you know what, I care about people.
I want to go and make sure people get saved like I'm saved.
We shouldn't just be sitting around doing nothing.
