From Concrete Jungle To Dust On The Boots

 In the span of one week, I went from the concrete jungle of the suburbs of Houston, TX to the dust on the boots out in the country. I navigated the twisted spaghetti like maze of sidewalks of city life as well as, the dirt trails through wooded country kicking up some dust on the boots. 

People need Jesus in the concrete jungles. People need Jesus in rural backwoods America too. I prefer the wide open spaces. The dusty trails. The simpler slower pace of country life. People in urban populations need Jesus too as well as the cowboys and cowgirls. Foundry workers need Jesus just as much as farmers. CEOs in sky rise offices are in need of a Savior just as much as down to earth country folks. Those living in fine houses with manicured lawns are in need of the gospel as much as those living in farm houses located at the end of dirt driveways.  

Whether people slip on loafers or pull up boots, all are sinners in need of a Savior. Rom 3:23. Rom 6:23. Jesus is that way to reconcile us to God. Rom 5:8 Jn 3:16. So I keep going where God opens the door to keep telling the good news to people from all walks of life. From concrete jungles to cow patty littered pastures, millions grope along in spiritual darkness. Jesus still shines brighter than the neon lights of the metropolitan areas as well as, brighter than the clear starry lit skies of the open range. 

Wherever you are, wherever you reside, keep telling the good news of Jesus' death and resurrection. Keep pointing people to His offer of salvation leading to both abundant and eternal life.
