In the world, every second, he is born on average 4 newborns and he dies 2 people. There is, every second, 2 more people on earth. At this rate, we could be twice as many in 60 years, or 13 billion instead of 7 billion today.
To evangelize is to consider urgency from two angles :
In both cases, to evangelize is to tear souls to perdition !
That the world is indifferent, we can understand, but when it is the Church of the Lord, it is criminal. What blatant hypocrisy, when on Sunday, church members are willing to spend hours in praise with hands outstretched to Heaven, and that they are not even able to talk about Jesus to anyone in the flow of the week !
Let us remember the severe rebuke that Jesus spoke to the Pharisees : "Hypocrites, Isaiah prophesied well over you, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. It is in vain that they honor me by giving precepts which are commands of men. You give up the command of God, and you observe the tradition of men. He said to them again : "You destroy the commandment of God very well, to keep your tradition" (Mark 7: 6-9).
Martin Luther King could say : "What frightens me is not the oppression of the wicked, it is the indifference of the good."
