Let's Bring The Church Out

I was praying last night and this verse just came to my mind: “For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” - Luke 14:11

Sometimes, when we do things, we tend to forget that we're doing this for Christ. We do things to let people see how good or how spiritual we are. As a Christian, I feel this is one thing we should always look out for. Not in others - but in ourselves.

I was having a drink with Isaiah yesterday (I hoped you all didn't forget to fast) and he told me this: “If Mohammed don't want to go to the mountain, bring the mountain to Mohammed”. We can apply it to the church as well - bring the church to the people! It's not the building that is the church. We, the people, are the church!

Later at night I was reading the book of Luke, I read about the parable about the lost sheep, the lost coin and the lost son. Let me share the one about the lost sheep. If a man has a 100 sheep and and one of them goes missing, wouldn't he leave the other 99 and search for the lost one?

The Bible continues to teach that he will joyfully carry it back home and asks his neighbours to rejoice with him! In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents than the 99 others who haven't strayed away.

Let's all look for the people who have gone missing. I pray that God will give us the strength and direction to do just that. Remember, if people don't want to go to church, we bring the church to the people.
