I find it boring to preach or teach to the same people who are making progress in change in their lives sometimes…I just want to live out the Word of God; sometimes I get really tired and frustrated teaching people who don’t seem to get it. Jesus spent years with these twelve disciples; yet they still didn’t get it. I am not Jesus; I lose my patience. Is it really hard to reach out and do it? Gosh…I don’t like being a talker; I am a doer. I get sick when I talk too much without putting it into action…
Just go out there and disciple someone! Bring one person to Christ at a time. Why is it so hard to bring people to Christ? Why are we still only hanging out with the same crowd as we did 2 years ago? Is it enough? Jesus didn’t feel like He was wasting time on the 12, although they were a bunch of losers…haha…I feel like a loser; Jesus wouldn’t agree. Guess people still struggle with sin and stupidity.
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; 4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. (2 Timothy 4:2-4)
Paul in 2 Timothy warned us: this is the time when people are falling into something that seems good but eventually leads them to destruction… When will we learn? When will we realize that enough is enough?
Nothing I wanted to say during today’s service…I should’ve sent them out instead…boring if we don’t go out. A new kid said to me today after service…”Is this it? Is this what you do on Sundays? Cool.”
I asked myself the same question with a different attitude…”Is that it? Is this enough?”
