    The Lord commands His people to go into all the world and to preach the gospel to every creature, but in spite of this, we stay put at the light. We do not go. We do not preach the gospel. This lesson reminds us of our calling as disciples of Christ.

But unfortunately, the person in front of us did not see it turn green. They are talking on the phone or texting. They may be focused on talking to ...read more
