Keith Green, this radical disciple of Christ, a Jewish convert, was a
friend of mine the early days before he went to be with the Lord. In one
of his songs, you read these words, do you see, do you see all the
people sinking down? Don't they care? Don't they care? Are you going to
let them drown? How can you be so numb not to care if they come? You
close your eyes and pretend the job is done. Oh, bless me Lord, bless me
Lord.

You know, it is all I ever hear. No one aches, no one hurts, no one even
sheds one tear. And I don't want to be like that, and I hope you will
agree.

As you and I follow the Lord, when the Lord asks us to do hard things,
it will not be legalism, it will be joy, sheer joy.
