I read the other day that "more money is spent each year on chewing gum than on world missions."
Think about that for a minute..
We spend more on something we put in our mouths, chew for a while and spit out- than we do on bringing Jesus to those who need Him as much as we do.
"So because you are lukewarm- neither hot or cold- I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Revelations 3:16
Do you know what breaks my heart about this the most? How many of you have ever stepped into a wad of chewing gum that someone carelessly spit out- not once caring about the person who would come along and step it in? Isn't that in essence the same thing we do to kids like Norma...
