What Do You Do?

~Brandon James Scott Scholl

Have you ever thought for a moment how many people in this world will actually make it to heaven? How many people will actually hear the Gospel and have the chance to think it over before they are judged before God? This is something I occasionally ponder and it is also one of my fears in life.

When I walk the streets, go somewhere, or drive around town I think about how many of those people that I see actually know what the real TRUTH is. Do they completely understand what they’re missing out on otherwise and what will happen to them if they don’t? It grieves me and is also a major motivation for me to write this blog. I try, when I am in the position, to talk to people and explain to them not only what they’re missing but what they don’t really know. As I watch them go day to day living their lives they may not seem to understand.

I am one simple person that does whatever is possible to further God’s kingdom and speak into the lives of whoever I can, whenever I can. However, I am just one person. Now this is easy for me because I have come to a place of understanding that God will stretch you always and he’ll always have you doing something for Him. Therefore, I have no inhibitions. But, I am just one person. As I school and meet other people from my generation it worries me. My generation does not only have a warped sense of God and the Truth but has lost interest and seen it as something to be blown off. I am one man in a sea of people in need of God in their life.

I know that there are other Christians out there capable of speaking out and do so. To those people, I thank you with all my heart. However, I also know that there are people out there that do not do this simply for the thought of possible embarrassment. Those of you that are in that position, get over it and get out there. Our generation is going down the drain faster than anyone thought possible. Here we are with the ability to change that and we would rather stay silent. I am ashamed to be a part of that generation of laziness and silence and to be branded as the generation of rebellion.

Yet, I also know that in my generation there will be leaders, teachers, and outspoken individuals that will rise to the challenge to change this generation and the stereotype. I am just one person in this battle.

With wanting to do whatever I can to save people both spiritually and any other way there is an issue and a fear of mine in this. My deepest, darkest fear is that I cannot save everyone that I can. I was once told that I should not make it a goal to save everyone because it wasn’t possible so I shouldn’t even try. I understand that I cannot save everyone, however, that doesn’t mean I can’t try. There are possibilities in my life that I can touch people and change the course of other lives for God’s glory.

I have done and will continue to do whatever I can to be that person that people can lean on and hold to for help in time of need. To show them the love that Christ has required of me as a Christian to produce. I understand that I may be babbling but this is my current feeling and situation. The real question is this, what do you do?

I know that I have written this kind of thing before and I will tell you right now this will not be the last time I write about this. God has put this subject on my heart quite strongly since getting into all of this as. It is a strong passion of mine to create more leaders in this world who actually know how to lead and be a role model to those around them.
