Full Harvest, Few Workers
“Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, (because they don\'t have a relationship with Jesus) like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

To Be Winners of Sinners <Mt 18:15-20>
We have a tendency to desire winning people’s approval, or winning people in terms of performance, wealth, popularity, etc. However, how often have we thought of winning sinners over to God? The heart of God is for His people to turn to Him. That is precisely the role of His church on earth, for the Christian community is to offer collective strength and guide to God’s beloved people. Yet, often, in dealing with sinners, the church is caught up with the tension of being either too judgmental and harsh, or being too soft on correcting a sinner and directing him/her toward repentance. How should the church balance God’s love and righteousness; care and correction? This message from <Mt 18:15-20> offers some principles in dealing with sinners and winning them over.
