God's plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple - one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we're busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone's eternal destiny is at stake.

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.
