Today we stood between the dead and the living dead. Behind us centuries of decaying bones, before us millions of decaying lives. From a graveyard we overlooked a city full of people dead in sin, dead in idolatry, dead in a lie.
Eph 2:1 "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins."
The only difference between the living of this city and the dead is that the people here have a chance. They only lack messangers.
Rom. 10: 14b, c "And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"
This city of more than of a million is lost and next to no one stands between them and a graveyard of eternal damnation. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Christians are spending their lives on legitimate ministries, but ignoring a needier field.
Ezek. 22:30 "And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."
Is there a man who will stand between this one city, or any city like it, and the grave?

Thanks, Miranda. That was a good summary of what the situation is. I know that God really spoke to me about who will go. There are few who are concerned about these people.
Great post.
