Discussion

  1. Why do you feel so many people are deceived into spending their time living in sin? Why do you feel its so hard for them to see the truth?
  2. Why do you think there are many who accept Christ, but who become distracted from pulling others around them out of the fire?
  3. Do you feel you are on the wide road, or on the narrow road? please explain.
  4. How are you personally using your time? in what ways can you spend more of your time in evangelism, and pulling others out of the fire?

End: Pray for any who need to accept Christ, or rededicate their lives, pray for those who want to spend their time then take requests.
