Can you imagine being in a small gathering of believers, in the midst of many people who do not have a relationship with Jesus, but then, one of us stands up, begins to tell them of Jesus, and within a short time we now have over 3,000 new believers, born again saints, for us to embrace? I can only think, “Wow!” Is that not the case of every congregation worldwide, a few of us in the midst of a multitude of those without Christ?

I saw this comment, by the late evangelist Leonard Ravenhill:
“Isn't it staggering when you think that one sermon on the day of Pentecost produced 3000 people? And we had some cities yesterday where 3000 sermons were preached and nobody was saved. And it doesn't even faze us.”
I have to ask, what does faze you? The placid complacency of being in the midst
of fellow believers who share the same theology and know your assigned pew, … or,
is it when you experience gut wrenching nervousness as you share Christ, find someone new in your pew and you are are
immersed in the process of love and fellowship that is simply summed up as: making, baptizing, and teaching disciples?
Fazed when “nobody was saved,”
