Paul's Letter to America

Hey Everyone,


I read this Letter to America by a renowned pastor and walked away blessed in the depths of my soul from reading his words. It wasn't written by John Piper, Billy Graham, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, William Carey, or the Pope, for that matter, but it was written by a saint, brother and martyr in God's kingdom. It's an awesome reminder. Although many things are attached to his name, it's easy to forget he was first and foremost a Christian activist and evangelist. We as the Body of Christ so often forget that we, also, are united to his mission-- to glorify Christ.

The letter is over half a century old, yet it speaks still so much truth to us today. Take a few minutes to read this. You won't be able to put this down without a feeling of love for this man, his connection to the Spirit and the compelling need to get out there and do something. We must do our part to recognize his rebuke and do something about it. 

To all of God's children out there reading this doing something to fulfill this mission, I respect you and love you for all you do as a brother and sister in Christ. If you have read this letter before, I hope this reminds you of something new, especially the power from which this man did such great things. Let this encourage us to do more in this way.

In the love of Christ,
Eliot
