When a flag-bearer falls in battle, another takes his place. It is necessary for reinforcements to continue the battle. There must be a "passing of the baton." Another generation must be raised up to maintain the fight. When the fathers are gone, the children must stand in their place. In our spiritual warfare, who will take our place?
We realize that many tasks may be accomplished in a variety of ways. Some people think the same about religion. That is, God and Heaven are some type of destination and there are many ways to reach them. Biblically, there is only one road to God and Heaven. It is my objective to prove this today.
We need reminders. We need a burden for the lost. We would do well to look about, discern the spiritual blight which surrounds us, and be moved to act. It is my objective to remind you and me of the plight of the lost.
