We need to be singing "We’ll work till Jesus Comes.”

We’ve sung “Heavenly Sunshine flooding my soul with glory divine”
We need to be singing, “Work for the night is coming.”

We are emphasizing the “GIFTS of the Spirit and the FRUIT of the Spirit.”
We ought to be working at getting the POWER of the Spirit.”

The GOSPEL is:
1. Not a TREASURE To be buried -- something to be carried out to others.
2. Not a LIGHT to be hid under a bushel - but to shine
3. Not a FOOD to be stored in a cellar - but to be Spread to the 5,000
4. Not a GARMENT to be hung in a closet - Robe of righteousness for the Naked.
5. Not a WEAPON for the wall of a Museum – But to be used in Battle.
6. Not a LAGOON for feeding Ducks -- River flowing for thirsty World.
7. Not a RELIC to be examined -- REDEMPTION to be shared.
8. Not a REQUEST to come and worship - COMMAND to go and Witness.
