DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon calls for a generation willing to sacrifice their lives for
Christ, to live dangerously and be reckless in His service, to
prioritize prayer and God's Word above all else, and to be faithful unto
death in fulfilling the work God has given them. It challenges men and
women to be courageous, selfless, and willing to risk everything for the
sake of God's kingdom, echoing the examples of biblical figures like
Moses, Paul, Joab, and Esther.

CONTENT

Where are the young men and women of this generation who will hold their
lives cheap and be faithful unto death? Who will lose their lives for
Christ's, flinging them away for love of Him? Where are those who will
live dangerously and be reckless in His service? Where are the men of
prayer? Where are the men who count God's Word as more important to them
than their daily food? Where are the men who, like Moses of old, commune
with God face-to-face, as a man speaks with his friend? Where are God's
men in this day of God's power? Where are the pastors who say with the
Apostle Paul, I don't count my life of any value, or as precious to
myself. If only I might finish my course and complete the work that He
gave me to do, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. I'm
nothing, I just have a job.

God, keep me faithful on the job. And then let me drop and go to the
reward. Where are the pastors who say with Joab to his brother Abishai,
surrounded by Syrians and Ammonites, Brother, be courageous and let us
play the man for our God and for the cities of our God.

And may the Lord do what seems good to Him. Where is the Joab today?
Where are the women? The single women and the married women, and the
pastor's wives who say with Esther when Mordecai came to her and said,
you've got to do this because your people are perishing. And she says,
tell him to fast, and I will go into the king, though it is against the
law.

And if I perish, I perish. Where are those women?
