    Once I was travelling from Amstredam airport and met an Evangelist from US. He was coming from Africa after preaching word of God. I asked him the same question, "Why do you have to go to Africa to preach when more than 80% of Christian in America do not go to church at all. Do not you think you need to preach more to these ppl to accept Jesus as their Savior?". He replied, " You cooked a gourmet meal and called your kids to come and have well laid table. They came, saw, and left without eating because it was not good and boring food. They are more interested in eating junk outside. You did that day after days. Then, there was a hungry boy outside your door whom you gave the food and he had stomach full and thanked you again and again for it. Whom do you think you will give the food next time: to your kids who reject your affectionate love given in that meal or to that hungry and thankfuk boy?" I replied ofcourse to the hungry boy. This is when he said these ppl born Christians have rejected Jesus again and again, and there are some those have never even heard of Him. Is it not fair now to give His word to those want to listen and accept Him? This is what has happened to generations of western world those have made their choices by rejecting Him. We still have obligations to tell others the Good News who have not yet rec'd Him or not known Him at all. Those who have rejected Him leave them as they are (He will reveal Himself to them), but there are still many those can be saved.

    • It reminds me of how Jesus went out to the gentiles after the Jews rejected him.
