"For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything." (1 Thess. 1:8)

Some have a bad attitude concerning personal work. They are too quick to say, "It won't do any good," or "No one is interested." There is a story told of two salesmen who in the late 1800's were sent from this country on separate missions to Africa to view the possibilities of selling shoes. One salesman wrote back to the company and said that the prospects for selling shoes in that country was absolutely no good because everyone went barefooted. The other salesman wrote back and said that the prospects for selling shoes there was fantastic because everyone needed shoes!

Let us sound forth the word of the Lord, preaching it in season and out of season.
