Globalization

"Go into all the world and preach [communicate] the Good News [the gospel message] to everyone."1

According to Britannica Online Encyclopedia, "Globalization is the process by which the experience of everyday life, marked by the diffusion of commodities and ideas, is becoming standardized around the world. Factors that have contributed to globalization include increasingly sophisticated communications and transportation technologies and services, mass migration and the movement of peoples…."2

In today's highly sophisticated world, globalization has increasingly become a buzz word, not only at the business level, but also at the political and religious levels. Besides the push for a global economy, we are bound to see in the days ahead a push also for a global government, and a global religion.

According to God's Word, the Bible, in the end times of this world age when the Antichrist arrives, he will control a one-world government and a one-world religion—besides a one-world economy where people won't be able to purchase any goods without the mark of the beast [the Antichrist]. With all that is happening in today's world, it certainly appears that the stage for the coming Antichrist is being set up at an accelerated rate.

Because of this, however, what is needed right now more than anything else is a Global Gospel Outreach. Let us remember that Jesus commissioned his disciples saying, "Go into all the world and preach [communicate] the Good News [the gospel message] to everyone."1

Let us also realize that without accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior, people all around the world are lost—eternally. Furthermore, because somebody introduced you and me to Jesus Christ, let us make certain that you and I do everything in our power, with God's help, to introduce others to Jesus Christ for he is the only hope for saving lost mankind. As Jesus also said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father [God] except through me."3

One very simple and effective way you can help introduce others to Jesus is to join with us as a "People Power for Jesus Partner." There is no cost involved and there are many simple helps to show you how you can effectively communicate the Good News of the gospel to every person on your e-mail list, as well as in other simple, non-offensive ways. See http://www.actsweb.org/people_power/ and then click on the "Tips for People Power People" link in the header. You can also use any of these tips without becoming a People Power for Jesus Partner.

The critical issue is that every Christian becomes involved in an urgently needed Global Gospel Outreach. Please check out the ACTS People Power for Jesus website and prayerfully consider joining with us today to help reach the world for Jesus Christ—one person at a time.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, in appreciation for all that you have done for me, today I commit and dedicate my life afresh to you. I am available today and every day to be 'as Jesus' in some way to every life I touch, and for you to use me to share the gospel message to others and thereby help introduce them to Jesus. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."
