Always At Wal-Mart

Why is it that you always see at least one person you know then you go to Wal-Mart? I guess the answer is "its Wal-Mart". This is the only place I know where you can get your oil changed, your hair cut, and your shopping done all at the same time. Everyone comes to Wal-Mart. This past Sunday I learned that was true. As Mary Karythrn and I were leaving I saw two young men in white shirts, ties, and name tags walking around the parking lot. You guessed it; they were Mormons. I got my wife to pull the car over so I could jump out and talk with these young men. The encounter went well; we exchanged numbers and I vowed to have lunch with them next time I came to Americus.

However, the encounter brought much conviction in my spirit. I realized that these two young men would speak with more people about their faith in one day than the average believer would during the whole year. These two Mormon missionaries are out speaking with people because they are compelled by a works-based system of salvation. But you and I have been born again by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We know that the fate of those without Christ is eternity in Hell and we remain silent. Heaven help us!

My challenge is simple. I am always at Wal-Mart; looking at HD television you can't afford and passing numerous lost people. Why don't I share? Why dont you? If we really believe people are lost and headed for Hell then the Mormons should have to get in line to talk with people because the Christians are already there preaching the Gospel.
