Rescue Shops and Church Bells

by Dave Quintana - Servants of the Word

Perhaps you've heard of famous cricketer and missionary C.T. Studd. He's known for many things including this disquieting quote, "some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell". I agree with him as well as with another spiritual writer who writes that Jesus invites us, "come with me to the darkest places. Come to the hurting, the howling, hollow faces." There's a world out there in desperate need of what we have freely and fortunately received. There are individuals out there dying for the chance to catch a glimpse of the life that we have been abundantly given.

And when they saw it, they all grumbled, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner." And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost." Lk 19:7-10 ESV
