"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~church

I love church in Guatemala. I truly believe that it is a small taste of heaven on earth. There is nothing like gathering together with a group of believers literally from all over the world. Today there were not only locals, but teams from all over Canada and the USA.  We were not separated from languages. We were not separated by race.  But rather we are united before God, worshiping Him. Only one word (which I have made in to three) to describe it: A. Ma. Zing.  There is nothing like standing, not only amidst a body of believers, but standing arm in arm (figuratively and literally), worshiping God. It is as if in some strange way, two become one. And really, that is what church is… Many becoming one, united before God. It is one of those experiences that will never, ever be forgotten.
