My cousin Carol wrote a lovely response to Sunday’s blog on The Remnant. It’s too good not to share.
This is a needed reminder to continue being living witnesses to our lost world. When I was young and working with YWAM, my pastor encouraged me saying “God told us to tell them, not save them. That is not our role. He will save those who believe.” Those words freed me from the frustration of rejection, and spurred me to spread the Good News even more than ever. Our enemy delights seeing God’s children intimidated and fearful about witnessing to a lost world. – Carol Baumann, March 14, 2023
“God told us to tell them, not save them.” That will preach.
For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. (1 Corinthians 1.21, ESV)
