I don’t remember growing up with all this “stuff” that was mine. Possessions that don’t really further us in life, make us who we are or really tell the story of our lives (although they might be called “i” this and “i” that).
I told my story this past weekend. You know, my story… my testimony. The first thing you should share in the witnessing process? Or, so I’m told that’s the first thing you share. I’m not sure I agree. While having dinner with a friend this past Friday night, she said “what’s your story” ? So I began to babble on. It was then that I realized, I knew my story-but never shared it before. So let’s put this in perspective here… I’ve been an active Christian for about 6 years, but the first year & a half I was just going through the motions. You see, I think everyone “knew” I had all the answers to starting my walk with Jesus. I didn’t. When my husband was blessed with a Youth Pastor job @ Ocean View Baptist Church, I was still going through those same motions. What happened? Why did I get, should we say, missed? My answer: IDK ! (txt gargin for I don’t know) In churches today this happens a lot. Why do you think people come and go so quickly? Maybe cuz we didn’t take the time to see where they really were in their life with Christ. What their story was. Current followers of Jesus are so wrapped up in iChurch that they see the new people, involve them and move on to the next person. Is that what He wants? So…my personal opinion here, NO! This includes me, get off your hiney (as Abigail would say) …and make something happen-test the knowledge, challenge your fellow church go-er & lets make the churches of today grow with people full of knowledge & passion about our RISEN KING !
