15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the
world (the Gospel of Christ is not merely a western
Gospel, as some claim, but is for the entirety
of the world), and preach the Gospel to every
creature (“preaching” is God’s method, as is here
plainly obvious; as well, it is imperative that every
single person have the opportunity to hear;
this is the responsibility of every Believer).
16 He who believes (believes in Christ and
what He did for us at the Cross) and is baptized
(baptized into Christ [Rom. 6:3-5] not water
baptism) shall be saved; but he who believes not shall be damned (Jn. 3:16).

-Matthew 16:15,16 (Expositor's Study Bible)
The subject of this verse became very clear to me last night... Some friends and I attended a local church service. This blog is not a criticism... this blog is to exhort us to get the message out...
What is getting the message out? Well as the above verse shows we are to bring the Gospel to the people, now Jimmy Swaggart Ministries and Crossfire Youth Ministry has many outreaches of which this blog and website are a part, I am a part, but even more specifically you are a part. JSM and Crossfire are attempting to get the message out on the platform God has given them...
What are you doing? This is something God dealt with me on so I share it as someone standing in the same place you are. We've got to hit the streets, the schools, the stores, the places we live, etc... with this message, the message that Christ died to save sinners like us from sin.
A few days ago Chad posted that now is the time, so I'm gonna steal that, now is the time! If we believe so strongly in this Gospel that it saves and sanctifies us than it's time we, not just JSM, Crossfire, and your local church, but us the congregation, the people of God, we must take it to the people that they cannot reach. You may say "I don't know how," well there's some ways you can start, invite them to church or just tell them to check out http://www.crossfireyouthministry.org/, or tell them to listen to Crosstalk on Sonlife Radio...
God has called every single believer to get busy and take the Message of Christ and Him Crucified to the whole world. So let's get out there and share this message with every living person you can. Get the message out...
