It&#8217;s possible that there are areas of the world that are even more corrupt than Sodom and Gomorrah was when God destroyed it.<\/p>\n<p>That might make it seem like it would be harder to harvest, but in reality it means that people are searching.

Will they cause them to see their lost condition and recognize their need for a Savior?<\/p>\n<p>As the body of Christ, we need to make sure we&#8217;re pointing people to the source of life. It&#8217;s our obligation and our duty.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to give them the other things mentioned above because they might make them feel better for a time. Ultimately, though, we need to be sure that everything we do is with the end goal of leading them to eternal life in Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Are we doing this?
