Message

Richard Wurmbrand, in his book, “Tortured for Christ,” wrote as follows: “It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their [the communists’] terms. It was a deal; we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching. They were happy beating us, so everyone was happy.” These imprisoned believers determined to obey the Lord’s injunction to preach the gospel though it would cost them persecution.

Similarly, Christian youths must preach the gospel through every opportunity. Make use of tracts and other Christian literature. Reach them with the gospel via social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp, to mention but a few. This is Christ’s command. Our world is in darkness because of sin, we must light it up with the gospel. Preach the true gospel to your friends, colleagues, and all around you before it is too late. It is only then you can gain the crown of righteousness prepared for the faithful.
