[Part 2 of 2]

It is very strange that most Christians are not balanced 

persons. The Lord calls us to come to Him, but after we come, 

He tells us to go to the nations. However, some Christians 

learn how to come to the Lord all the time, but they forget to 

go. Of course, other Christians today are going Christians, 

but I am afraid that they do not come enough to the Lord. 

Therefore, we must be balanced. The coming and going 

Christians are sound, normal Christians. On the one hand, we 

need to learn how to come to the Lord all the time, day by 

day; then on the other hand, we need to learn how to go. If we 

have the intention and sincere desire to practice the church 

life, we must be brothers and sisters who come to the Lord day 

by day and go to others all the time. 

When I was young, I was helped by a short but interesting 

writing. The writer said that in order to be a sound 

Christian, every day we must spend at least ten minutes to 

speak to the Lord, ten minutes for the Lord to speak to us, 

ten minutes to speak to sinners, and ten minutes to speak with 

the saints [other believers]. Day by day we must have these 

four times of at least ten minutes each. This is not a small 

matter. Try to put it into practice. If we do this, we will be 

healthy in spiritual matters and in the spirit. However, we 

should not do too much; at the outset we should just do a 

little. 

We need to be balanced. We must include gospel preaching as an 

item to balance our Christian life. If we have not preached 

the gospel in several days, we are not balanced. In the four 

Gospels, whoever came to the Lord, the Lord sent him to others 

to preach. Matthew 28:19 tells us to go to the nations, but 

Mark 16:15 says that we must go even to all creation. 

Christians have much to do to preach the gospel not only to 

the nations but also to every creature. We must do it!
