Do You Mourn The Unsaved?
biblelike wonders in a great piece from a couple of Sundays ago, "Have we no tears?"
Many of us have no memory for the great revivals of the church, because we have never seen what true revival is. We walk calmly with the status quo as our generation marches inexorably toward hell. We sleep peacefully at night because our church is saved and those outside have to face the problem for themselves. It’s not our responsibility after all. Jesus whipped the money changers out of the temple, but first He wept over them. He grieved for their souls. Shame on us. Everlasting Shame on us for we do not weep a single tear for those misguided souls.Transforming Sermons wonders in response
Surely Biblemike is overstating the case here . . . isn't he?Biblemike's post does wander into some some places I would not go in terms of finer theological points and denominational differences, but I have to endorse his sentiment entirely. Even as a calvinist, I mourn the those not among the elect. I grieve those that do not know the glory of God. It is my fondest desire for all to find the Kingdon of God.
