Travel Light



“Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, or a bag for your journey, or even two coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.”

Matthew 10:9-10

When Jesus sent the Disciples out to preach the Gospel, He did not tell them to bring a U-Haul trailer full of equipment, He said, “Go, preach….”

When we go out to share the Gospel we need to take this to heart.  There are critics who will tell you that you should not be sharing the Gospel or offering help and advice to people who have problems because “you’re not so perfect….  You have this and this and this that is wrong in your life.” 

Jesus did not say, “Be ye perfect.”  He said, “Go, preach… heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons….”

We should listen to our hearts not our critics, and minister to hurting people by praying with them and sharing the Gospel. 

Travel light and take the light of the Gospel to the World.
