27 November 2011 - ENCS

The "Sign of the Times" series ended today
Pastor Larry told us how to respond and obey
He started by referring to Matthew 24:14
The end will come after the Word all have seen
Then Colossians 1:6 and the spreading of the gospel
Some interesting statistics Pastor to us did tell
Christianity has quadrupled in the past one hundred years
Now the biggest religion, yet still billions of untouched ears

In this vein, Pastor interviewed Hiram Ring
He translates Bibles, but he can also sing
6000 languages, one third with no biblical translation
Sharing the Word in a new language, what a sensation
Pastor said that for God's glory, our gifts we should use
Since God gave us our talents, there is no excuse
Hiram then regaled us with a nice song
About the sea and his journey long

We then watched a video about an Indonesia tribe remote
A New Testament translation come by air, not by boat
For Psalm 126:5 holds true for every man and every boy
"Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy"
For 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 should act as a clarion call
Jesus' love compels us because He died for us all
The Word is what we must go to others and tell
For we don't want our friends to end up in hell
Per Acts 1:8, remember what our Lord Jesus did say
The Holy Spirit's power strengthens us when we obey
We should all obey Jesus' last words in Matthew twenty eight
Take the Word to the ends of the world - the Commission Great
Look at what Paul did after his encounter and rebirth
He spent his life sharing the gospel around the earth
We all have the same role no matter what God calls us to be
Whether we are a businessman, a pastor, or a missionary

Foreigners account for 42% of the population of Singapore
Like an Antioch in Asia, to the region we can be a door
People are waiting and there are lots of opportunities
Remember Psalm 2:8 as these chances we seize
Pastor referred to Matthew 9:37-38 right on cue
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few"
So when, as in Isaiah 6:8, the Lord does ask
We should be more than willing to do any task
And like the Citipointe drummer last week did say
We should give it our all, as if it is our last day

For if we are willing the Word to preach
The five billion we will most assuredly reach
