The minister this morning at our harvest service, Rev. Hyndman, spoke on Ezekiel 22 vs. 23-31, outlining how the harvest of souls was of more importance to God than the physical harvest of crop we celebrate. The passage examines the terrible state of spiritual depravity that the people of Israel had gotten themselves into, where they didn’t care, wouldn’t share and they didn’t dare. Society today faces a similar crisis point, and Gods call to the people of Israel has relevance to his people today. God states he is looking for v.30: “a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I will not have to destroy it.”. And sadly He states conclusively “but I found none”. Today God is looking for Christians who will stand up for Him in places of great need, people who will fill the Gap. And to fill or bridge “The Gap” you have to be in touch with both cultures, applying the truths of Gods word to the situation you have been placed to minister.
