This weekend we had our 45th Annual Missionary Convention in our Church. This morning we had a visit from a CEF worker who quoted a statistic that was both Shocking and Frightening. Only 12% of the population of the continent of Europe can remember up to 3 of the 10 Commandments.
For anyone interested in seeing souls won for the Lord Jesus Christ this statistic should be a wake up call to us all, it shows us the enormity of the task of evangelising this once Christian Continent. Europe! This is the continent of Huss, of Luther, of Calvin, of Zwingle, of Latimer, of Ridley, of Wesley, of Whitfield, and of Spurgeon to name a few. WHAT A DEPARTURE!
If they don't know the law then how will they ever come to Christ?
'Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.' Gal 3 v24
'The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.' Psalm 19 v7
If people don't know there is a law then how do they know that they have broken it? If they do not know they have broken it then how will they ever understand the need to be saved? Saved, they will say, why what if we done wrong?
There needs to be the presentation of the broken law in our preaching. 88% of people in our continent need to hear such a message.
What are we going to do about that?
