From the Pulpit...

In obedience to God’s Word, our prayer life should consistently include praying for the Lost to be saved. Such prayers should especially be on behalf of those in authority, because their salvation has practical implications for Christians’ ability to lead quiet and peaceable lives in all godliness and reverence. We ought to pray for the Lost because we know that it is pleasing in the Savior’s sight because He desires that all people to be saved. We ought to pray indiscriminately because we do not know whom God’s elect are. When we look at the world around us, we ought to think in only one category: Lost. And when we pray for all men in this way, we can have confidence that God will answer these prayers according to His perfect will by sending someone to give them the Gospel. But be ready, His answer to your prayer may me be you going and telling them the Good News.
