Praying for others

In 1 Thess 3:1, Paul wishes the brethen at Thessalonica would pray for him and his party of evangelists and that they would spread the gospel quickly.  Paul saw the need of the world and how so many people need to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.  Evangelism is the number one priority of the church.  A church that doesn't go out and win souls is a church that should be pitied.  I remember one time talking to leaders of a particular denomination.  They told me they did not believe in the born again experience and that they did not want it in their church.  That church is doomed to never becoming more than a social club for worldly peole who are religious.  A church must have evangelism on its mind all the time.  The church will die without new converts to be raised up to carry on the work when the older ones pass on.  Another thing that a person must remember is that the church has the answers to all the problems of life.  We must not be selfish and keep it to ourselves.  Pray that the gospel of Jesus Christ will spread quickly to a  lost and dying world.  Your Promises Today are:  Matt 28:19, Mark 16:15-17, John 3:a6, Eph 6:10-18 and John 1:1 & 14.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  Worship has been said, to be an attitude of the heart expressed.  The problem today is that many a Christian seems to be struggling with heart failure.
