Romans 10:18 But I ask: Did they not hear? Of course they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
Asking the obvious is a good way to make a point with most people. Here the Romans are almost challenged by the expanse of the church and ministry.
The Romans were a considerable force who did manage to spread far and wide, but the Gospel message went just as far with far less of an army!
We use power, great numbers of people and even technology to take over or control others; God uses the truth being told by a few honest people to reach even more.
God reaches inside people’s hearts and does not beat them up so they will listen. Be more like God!
