"Lost", not the ABC hit from a few years ago, but the word used by Jesus in Luke 15 describing the person who has not repented of their sins. The scripture is very clear that God's demographic study of people is far different from that of the sociologist and the advertisement agents because He sees only two categories of people, "lost or saved"! I believe one of the reasons the church experiences little of the joy of witnessing people being saved is because we do not see people as being lost! Do we really believe in Hell? Are we really convinced Jesus is the only way? Do we really understand that the greatest need of people is a Savior to rescue them from their sins and that the Cross of Jesus is the way of rescue? All around us are people on the Highway to Hell! The church today appears to have embrace the attitude of the world concerning the claims of the Bible and Jesus Christ concerning the need of Salvation - It is not relevant for out time! On the authority of the Word of God, I tell you it is always relevant because the Bible is the timeless Word of God, not used to be the Word, and Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever, Praise His Holy name! We need to be heartbroken by the Holy Spirit! We need to be shake-up out of our complacency! Hell is real and it has a big flashing "Vacancy Sign, it is not full and it is not air conditioned!!!
