Luke 10:8-12
Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. Heal the sick in it and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’ I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. (ESV)

The urgency we feel toward spreading the gospel without fear or reservation should be stronger by the day, even by the hour. While not all of us are called to be missionaries or to preach the gospel on the street corners, we are each called to preach the gospel in the way God has gifted us. May we not be afraid to go into towns, classrooms, or office buildings and preach the gospel when God calls us.
