Understanding the brevity of life, one would see the importance of the gospel of Jesus Christ and its urgency in a context dominated by spiritual darkness. Horatius Bonar, a hymn writer composes that human life is “fading away like the stars of the morning, losing their light in the glorious sun. Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling, only remembered by what we have done.”1 The question posed to a Christian would be; what would you be remembered for? In his attempt to respond to the question, Charles Spurgeon avers, “Alexander conquered the world, and we should like him to do so, in the best of senses. We will ask Alexander his secret. Alexander, thou hast overcome Darius; thou hast driven the Persians before thee as a lion drives a herd of sheep; how hast thou done it? The very question was once asked of him personally, and his answer was this — “I never delayed.”2 For us to counter the spiritual darkness of Norfolk with spiritual vitality, we need to know that DELAY IS DANGEROUS. We should not delay in the proclamation of the gospel of Christ because souls are perishing in the Norfolk community in gun violence, drug addiction, and prostitution.3 You and I have the responsibility of praying, going, supporting, and ultimately proclaiming the power of God for the salvation of those that believe, i.e., the gospel of Christ.4 Jesus says you and I must do the works of him who sent Him while it is the day. For the night is coming when no one can work.5
