Thirsty?

Have you ever stopped for one minute and just started looking around to see how thirsty people are for a higher power? Today I had a conversation with a youth and he said: I know that there is a higher power and I don’t mind hanging around good people. But I can’t say that I will go to church unless you can convince me. Now to me here is what I heard, yea I don’t mind hanging around Christ followers, but I won’t go to church unless you can give me a good reason that the higher power that is living you can live in me.

    So many times we like to say, O should come to church on Sunday morning. But that is where we stop! Why is that? Why is it that we think that we have done our jobs as Christ followers when we just invite people to church? But the bible says something different,

Matthew 28

¹⁸ Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. ¹⁹ Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Now here is where we got to keep going it is not just the pastor's job to win people over to Christ, but it is every single person that calls Jesus their savior! It means that you make disciples where you are at, where God has placed you at work, school, bus, street, where ever you are. 

Here is my thing I had this conversation with this person today, and he knew that he was  thirsty  and he knew that he wanted something, but no one has ever showed him what that looked like in real life. No one had taken the time to hang out with him, and SHOW him what it means to have Christ living in you. Who does God have around you that is really thirsty for Him? Are you going to make the disciples, or are you just going to talk about it with them?
