Where is the off switch???
Sleep is something I have been getting less and less each day. Every time I lay down for some reason I can’t turn my mind off. I know the past week at least 3 days I was laying in bed and thought I was dreaming but realized I was not even asleep. So what has been keeping me up? Souls I can’t stop thinking about the lost, and the hurting. This is something that should be on each of our minds. How can we go to church all the time and not feel convicted that we are not sharing God with are fellow friends, neighbors, classmates, and or Co-workers. Sometimes I think we can get so wrap up in church. That we forget that we are should be reaching out as well. My Goal for the rest of the year is to do everything I can to show Jesus Christ to the people I come in contact with. Not just invite them to church but to show them they can have a relationship with a savior. I am more concerned about kingdom building then I am church growth. If you want to see growth in your church gets concerned with kingdom growth. How do I plan on doing this? I have been thinking about home bible studies. A few months ago I had a home bible study with Fish. Fish had came to church several times over the past few years, but never made a move to God. I had a bible study with him on a Saturday and he decided that night he wanted a relationship with the Lord I had the honor to pray with him that night, baptize him that Sunday, and then preach his funeral the following week. Fish was diagnosed with cancer and died 1 week after finding out. I am here to tell you that just as Fish did not have long neither does this world. If I would have waited to have 1 week to do that bible study he would have never repented or been baptized. Serious People it is time to do more than just invite someone to church. It’s time to be the church. God forgive me where I have been slacking and give me the boldness to do more.
