How many times have you walked into a new church. you are surrounded in all new people the conversations flowing through out the rooms. some distinct chatter. as you walk in to the new surroundings you are normally greeted with greeters. a few smiling faces, faces all turning for a few quick moments.
now let me ask you a few questions? what kind of christian are you? the one who will go out of your way for the new people and welcome them in. or are you the kind of Christian to focused on going to church to see your friends for another Sunday service, how many of us are to busy to make time for the new people coming and going to church??with all that said! next time a new person comes to church will you welcome them?
here my heart if you will. when i left my old church i left broken i left hurt i left bitter and cold. as i walked into crossroads there was 2 main people Vance and Julie detman. they welcomed me and greeted me.I don't know if I would of come back if it weren't for them 9 years ago. because of there example i have tried to do the same over the years. i mean there is so many people out there looking for hope looking for rescue. so if we are the church and we are supposed to be the hands and feet of God sort of speak. then why do we not take the time to reach out to the new comers. there is such a need out there.
it's time to make time for time. it's time to reach out and be the church body. if you a blind person trying to cross the road would you stop and help them or would you walk by and ignore that you might actually be exactly what that blind person needed that day. are you too consumed in your circumstances that when a friend needs help you are to busy too take the time.
If we are the church then why do we pass all these chances by every day. I am guilty to!!! ouch right!!!!! we are guilty of that at least once in our lives!!!
