Do you know that considered it wrong for him to minister in areas where there was established works? Check out 2 Corithians 10:15-17. I quoted in my newest e-newsletter if you got that. We are called to go. What part of go don't we understand? Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!"

So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

We MUST go to them and we MUST give them the opportunity to recieve the Lord just like we did. Great thoughts but Brad, the truth is we are called to go to the nations.
