America at an alarming rate. Our nation is suffering morally and spiritually with no differentiation between Christians and lost people. Christians are committing the sin of silence and are putting their lamps under a basket instead of sharing the Gospel message. Without Christians dutifully carrying out the mandate of the Great Commission‚ millions will never know that there is hope in Jesus. It is my conviction that I must change from inaction to action and from fear to boldness. I pray that the

In Nazareth‚ Jesus defined His mission by claiming that God was fulfilling the words of Isaiah :61:1-2 through Jesus’ healing‚ liberating actions. There He met rejection and anger. In Capernaum‚ on the other hand‚ the townspeople wanted Him to stay there and be their local healer. Yet Jesus followed steadfastly a course that He and God chose.
