emotions

Ravi Zacharias pointed out that we need to have a burden and personal pressure to seek the lost instead of letting their time on Earth be meaningless, just a brief time to roam around before their eternity in hell. This compassion should be in us and should compel us to action. We need to be aware of the harsh reality of the lost all around us and stop falling into the devil’s distractions of what this life offers. At the same time, this lack of hurt or burden should not be an excuse for us not to act. Zacharias tells this great story about Adoniram Judson and an emotional event in his life that had a huge impact on him and changed the course of his life, but somehow through this story I was reminded that at times we make Christianity too emotional. We sometimes need to be less about feeling and more about doing.
