| Our Business |
| “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). |
| When the evangelist D.L. Moody was returning home late one night in Chicago, he noticed a man leaning against a lamppost. He went to him, laid his hand on his shoulder, and asked him if he was a Christian. |
| The man became angry and raised his fist threateningly. “I’m sorry if I have offended you,” Moody said soothingly. |
| The man retorted, “Mind your own business.” |
| “But that is my business!” the evangelist replied, as he continued on his way. |
| One morning some three months later, Moody was awakened very early by a knock at the door. “Who is there?” |
| An unknown voice answered, “I want to become a Christian.” |
| When Mr. Moody answered the door there stood the man he had spoken to under the lamppost. |
| When we encourage others to accept Christ as their Savior, we are simply fulfilling the mission that the Lord has given us. It is indeed our business, and His too. |
