"What do we fear enough to talk to strangers about? Our spiritual mandate is to Seek FIRST God’s Kingdom. We must be obsessed with the business of heaven – because only then will the business of earth fall into the right perspective.

Jeremiah 29v13 – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Our passion and obsession must be for lost human beings to find and be found by this Living God – because without that they will perish.

Do we fear eternal perishing enough to speak to strangers about it? We talk to strangers about what we are obsessed with. Whether we are in a quiet revival or not – it is time to get serious about what really matters.
