The Cry of the Heart
We were doing a spring break youth camp in the Texas Hill Country. One day a balloon popped in the dining hall.
Balloons have been popping all my life, but I’ve never seen one make a dining hall hush. Till then. Things certainly have changed.
Our world is groaning, just like the Bible said. The people are divided; heathens are raging, and fear lurks. And like man has done ever since stubborn Cain went on the “grow your own” plan, man digs down deep and comes up dry in his quest for how to cope with sin.
“We need to fix mental health,” they say. “We gotta monitor people better.” “Pass another spending bill.” “Take guns away.”
There are between 9000 to 20,000 gun laws already, depending on who is guessing. Gun laws don’t matter to mass murderers. Man’s problem is his heart.
“The heart of man is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.” – Jeremiah 17:9
A wise man once said, “When you’re in a hole, stop digging.” Haven’t we had enough of the foolishness of trying to fix depravity without God?
The souls of our children are crying. They have been bullied by the religion of atheism and systematically taught that the Lord is not real.
The shooters and bombers have suffered from rejection and utter disappointment. They felt like castoffs—unloved, and with no place to belong. Somewhere, in the darkness of their human heart, they came to believe that death was better than dying.
Let’s tell the children about the Lord!
Let’s teach them they are creations, not accidents. Tell them they were made by God, not by dirt—that they have purpose and a reason to live. Let’s teach them evolution is a lie and the Bible is true. They need to know about the devil and the fall. And they need to know about the love of God for them. Grace is the best thing in the world to fix rejection. And the gospel is the only thing that can fix our sin.
Children are awesome. But without transforming truth, they can grow up to be awful.
Let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Our kids need more than the toys they hold and the screens that fill their days and their minds. They need Jesus.
They need Him so much it hurts.
The Fallacy Scout is on the job, looking for fallacies that are dressed up like the truth! They need to be exposed so that good folks don’t believe bad things. Here’s one that Fallacy Scout exposed:
Fallacy location: A little voice in our head.
Fallacy states: “They might be offended if I share the gospel.”
Fallacy exposed: We have no certainty that the person will be offended. Share the good news, with grace and love!
After we share the gospel, if the person is offended, at least we did the right thing and gave them an opportunity to believe the gospel.
Rather than listen to silly voices in our heads, we should obey the Lord’s voice when he said,
“Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel…” – Mark 16:15
Our manner should never offend. If our manner offends, we should apologize and improve it. Fear of the truth offending shows that we might care more about our social standing than we care about love.
It must have been an ordinary day at the shore when those boys got a call from out of the blue.
Still Fishing for Men
There stood Jesus, looking right at them. They knew Him already. He was the One. Now the Master was calling them to serve.
“Come after me and I will make you to become fishers of men” – Mark 1:16
So John, James, Andrew, and Simon walked off the boats and right into the greatest adventure that a life can have. They manned up that day. And the Lord changed history.
All around, the people were down and discouraged. Government was a mess. Foreigners were coming in from everywhere. The future looked grim, except for when they looked at Him. Later, when many walked away from Him, those boys stuck like glue.
“To whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life…” – John 6:68
Isn’t it amazing what God can do when plain people obey His call? Today there are more Bible studies and books about Jesus than ever before in the history of earth. But are they making people become fishers of men? How about you?
What kind of net are you chunking?
People need the Lord. The good news of the gospel leads straight to Him. Won’t you share it? Today?
Jesus is still calling. If we can help you share the gospel, just let us know. 762-218-3060.

Just Not Sure? You can have everlasting life, and know it. Jesus loves you as you are and proved it when He died on the cross. His death paid your death penalty for every sin you’ve ever done, or ever will do. Then, He rose from the dead to prove His story was true. If you will trust Him, Jesus will give you eternal life. He said, “Verily, verily I say unto you, ‘He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.’” – John 6:47
