On the way to pick up my 2 year old niece yesterday, we stopped at BBQ Joe's in High Point. Our server was this adorable senior at Trinity High School. She had an awesome personality to go with the looks. I started talking to her about general things. School, boys and eventually go on the topic of church. Ok well technically, I was talking to her about a particular guy at church...but thats not the point. (lol) I then gave her one of our biz cards and told her to check out our website. And told her that said guys pic was on there as well. She said she would definitely go check out the website. And then said that she'd see me at church this weekend.
We talked about her current church, that it was her Grandmothers church. And it was old. Imagine that. I went into a little more about R2 and I showed my excitement. And my passion for the church.
Of course, whether or not she comes, I did my part. I opened my mouth and invited her. Thats what its all about. Stepping out of your comfort zone and inviting people to church.
A friend of mine recently started back to church. I told her I'd always be here if she needed to talk. She said " Isn't it sad how we talk about so many things so easily with friends, but talking about Christ is so difficult? "
It is sad. We are a generation who can openly discuss graphic details of our sex life. Details of every little thing that people really DO NOT need to hear. But the biggest "detail" they need to hear about, we're scared to talk about. WHY...because it makes them uncomfortable??? Good, they need to be uncomfortable. I mean if they aren't saved and don't know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour....do you really think they're going to be comfortable in the pits of hell????
Step out on faith..the results can be life changing. LITERALLY!!!
