God Cares! Do We?

By Dr. A. J. Gordon

Forget not that your first and principal business as a disciple of Christ is to give the gospel to those who have it not. He who is not a missionary Christian will be a missing Christian when the great day comes of bestowing the rewards of service. Therefore ask yourselves daily what the Lord would have you do in connection with the work of carrying the news of salvation to the perishing millions. Search carefully whether he would have you go yourself to the heathen, if you have the youth and fitness required for the work. Or, if you cannot go in person, inquire diligently what blood mortgage there is upon your property in the interest of foreign missions, how much you owe to the heathen because of what you owe to Christ for redeeming you with his precious blood. I warn you that it will go hard with you, when your Lord comes to reckon with you, if he finds your wealth hoarded up in needless accumulations instead of being sacredly devoted to giving the gospel to the lost.—Dr. A. J. Gordon.
