POINT SOLDIERS
FOR GOD
BY MINISTER SCOTT
DINGLE
On the battlefield of life. God is
looking for afew good Point Soldiers
to enlist and assume leadership po-
sition this world. A Point Soldier for
God is one who has accepted Jesus
Christ as Lord and Saviour and has
taken a position of leadership as they
hod up the blood stained banner of
ChrisL
God confronted Isaiah with the call
to active duty and service as a Point
Soldier, he asked "Whom shall I
send and who will go for us” (Is 6:8).
Isaiah responded, "here am I, Send
Me." God then promoted Isaiah from
a willing Point Soldier who stepped
out on faith, to one of the greatest
Old Testament Prophets. Are you
willing to be God's Point Soldier?
God is asking us today, "Whom
shall I send? Who will go for us?"
Have you accepted your heavenly
mission form God? Our community
is in need of
Point Soldier who are willing to be
the "Salt of the Earth." Our youth are
rapidly becoming casualties,
