According to a few consensus studies in the last ten years, roughly 1.78 people pass away every second. The good news is nearly three people are born per second, so, there will always be ample opportunities to share His word and plant the seed. The problem is with the 1.78 who pass away per second. Let's just say a whopping 60% are His and the remaining 40% are not for the sake of this discussion. That still means the lost opportunity is over 42 people per minute, 2,563 per hour, 61,516 per day, 430,617 per week, 22,392,115 per year........
Yes, that's right, almost 23 MILLION people fail to accept Christ as their personal savior and perish EACH YEAR. That is catastrophic!
When I started writing this it was not intended to become a numbers scenario, however, the simple truth is this - ONE PERSON BEING EXCLUDED FROM HIS KINGDOM IS FAR TOO MANY!
Now, think back about when you woke up this morning and went to work. Let's say it takes fifteen minutes for the commute. That's 630 people lost....... I don't know about you, but, these numbers are nauseating to handle and light a fire under my tail to share His wonderful news. What about you?

This is good, Jesse. Sometimes, it IS about numbers. Hence... we have a book called Numbers. I agree with your assessments.
