Who will go to America?
Who will go to America? I’ve been listening to that song now for about ten minutes straight. It’s awesome. Cuts straight to the heart of the problem that we have in America. The heathen can’t be expected to evangelize, so it’s up to the Christians. Christians have a great burden for foreign missions. That’s great, but who will go to America? America is not generally considered a mission field. Why not? Sinners are dying in America just as fast as anywhere else. More and more people get born every day in America and every single one of them needs to hear the gospel. America is dying. Gone are the days that our founding fathers died for. Our nation is being eaten alive by false doctrine and crooked worldviews. Like an apple shiny and beautiful on the outside, but rotting and dead on the inside. It is similar to the story of the frog being cooked alive. If you would have said to the founding fathers, “how about an amendment to the Constitution to allow homosexual marriage?” they would have thought you an insane heretic. Same principle with the frog. If you were to throw a live frog in a pot of boiling water, the frog would quickly jump out. However, put the frog in a pot of room temperature water and slowly heat it up to boiling, the frog would be cooked alive. That’s exactly what is happening to America. Slowly, over years of instituting evil bit by bit we are what we are today. Divorce was virtually unheard of in early America. Now over half of every marriage ends in divorce. That’s not even counting the people that don’t get married and have kids anyway. I don’t know for sure but isn’t it so that over half of all children born in America are born not knowing both parents in a typical mother/father family institution? America needs people to stand up and be wholly sold out to God. That’s all God is looking for. Oh, I can’t. I’m not a preacher or a missionary. That’s baloney. Not everyone will come to church or be touched by a missionary. What about those people that just live here? I went shopping and as I looked at all the people, I just pondered this thought. There were at least a hundred people in the store including shoppers and employees. Over half are not born again by any statistic. What does that mean? They’re dying. Just dying. They die that very minute and slip into eternity separated from God and tortured in a devil’s hell forever.
Who Will Go to America?
They left their homes in America
To cross the ocean wide and blue.
They carried their cross, not caring the loss
So other souls could hear the truth.
But the light’s grown dim in America
And sin will be our nation’s doom.
We need more preaching in America
For Jesus is coming soon!
Chorus
Who will go to America?
Land of the red, white, and blue.
Who will go to America?
Tell me brother, why not you?
Our Saviour sends His children forth
To go to every land
To the islands of the uttermost
To find forgotten man.
But the most forgotten mission field
Is within our country’s shores
So who will go to America
She needs Jesus Christ the Lord.

that's like the way chinese is.. it's like a stair and you are walking down it.. at the bottom is the end of your life.
You can add this:
If you are a christian, your stair leads up to heaven.

That's an interesting way to view it...

That is an awesome post, and it embodies the way most of the young people at our church feel, as well. We have a responsibility to reach out to those around us.

strange that it seems easier to us to witness on a foreign field than to do it in our own circle of acquaintances--I know I'm guilty as charged!
But sometimes it's easier to see the needs and dinginess of places that are far away than places close to home: it always struck me funny at college in WI to hear people speak of CA as a mission field in America--yes, I know that it is, but not any more than any other place in America (or maybe in the world?) . . . and maybe not any less

I too have been singing the song for days. Praise God!
