Been reading Luke. Its a great read. I read Luke 15 the other day, also known as the "LOST" chapter and I came across a few interesting thoughts...

The lost sheep is about something that was lost naturally, the coin got lost accidentally, and the son got lost willing fully! In all stories they were searched for. (The lost sons dad stayed out the front of home...)

The other thing popped out was that they are all about how there will be a party in heaven when someone is found again! Hallelujah! Also, it is very consistent that there is two places we end up, heaven or hell. Its mentioned all the time.

The other point is that the people who are getting saved are the ones who dont have anything. The ones who are down and out, who are suffering. The ones who realise they need Jesus! (Luke 13-14)

And finally, hell sucks! Luke 16 warns us that people in hell have seen the glory of God but cant get away from it! They cant go and warn people either. Imagine the worst place on earth, imagine your stuck there forever. Now, tell me, if you had an ounce of love in your soul, would you tell people to keep clear? I would! Why dont we tell people hell sucks and tell them about the kingdom of God? If you knew the cure for AIDS would you tell the world? I would. Im guessing so would you. Dont be ashamed of the gospel. Its good news! Try get some people saved! Dont know how to? Then come to "GO FOR SOULS CONFERENCE!"
