Why it is Important to Learn a Foreign Language

We as Christians can at times have a sense of entitlement that says "whatever". Of course, being given the great commission a "whatever" cannot go under God's radar. Now i'm not commanding that every Christians learn a foreign language. I just want every Christian to consider it. You may know someone who doesn't speak English that well. They may have immigrated from another country or were born in a home where English isn't the main language.

Now it is a commandment for EVERY CHRISTIAN to go soul-winning. And i'm not talking about friendship-evangelism, or any of that sort. We need to be knocking doors. We need to be out in the highways and hedges (Luke 14:23) compelling them to come into the Lord's house. This is a commandment given by Jesus.

 Before you probably even consider learning another language to win people to Christ, it may be best to try your own tongue first. Christians who can't even mission their community shouldn't even think about the missionary field. It all starts at home. What you want in the future depends on what you do now.

 In the United States, Spanish is spoken by 38.3 million people. That's 38.3 million souls. Like I said before, you should consider it. Soul-Winning is not a calling but a commandment. But Spanish is a calling. Whether you think so or not, there is someone in your region that is bilingual. There is a community of immigrants in your region. Look, it's not like they're across the waters. They are literally 10 minutes away from where you live. Here is a start for all the wanna-be missionaries.

 If you are a Christian who is not giving the gospel, you are out of the will of God. Soul-Winning is not a gift. Even if it was a gift, should that stop you from doing it. If someone is really good at encouraging people should I not encourage people? If someone is good at showing mercy, should I not be merciful? No. You should learn from those people who are better at other things.

 The Soul-winning ministry is the most important ministry. Jesus stresses this the most. If a church is not soul-wining then they are outside of the will of God. If we don't do it who will? God has given us the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). So if I were you, i'd start today. And if not today tomorrow.

 It ought to scare you that people are going to hell. People like Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Beyonce, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Pope Francis, and Caitlyn Jenner.

 Why look up to hell when it's beneath you?

 Be an example,
Save souls,
Consider a language,

 Stop watching the television and take action.
