Please continue to pray for the work of missions around the world. In the midst of so many distractions (necessary and unnecessary), the church must not forget that it has one stewardship above all others—the preaching of the gospel to every creature.
The world will let a man go to hell quietly and never try to stop him. The world will never let a man go heaven quietly; they will do all they can to turn him back.
~J. C. Ryle
Anyone engaged in frontline evangelism surprised by this? Professing Christians are usually the first to complain that what we're doing is wrong...

We met this guy in the park last night. After chatting for awhile he gave Matt a riding lesson. It was a perfect opportunity to #segway to the gospel. ☺
"It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ’s voice, follow Christ, believe in Christ, confess Christ, requires much self-denial." @JCRyle
@JJMills95 Amen. I ministered with a man who preached in the open air, near an hour in length, during a steady rain while wearing this fine jacket. True Story
Spirit Filled dealings with hecklers and opposition to gospel witness- "You son of the devil, you enemy of all unrighteousness, full of all deceit and villainy, will you not stop making crooked the straight paths of the Lord?"
