Is it possible that followers of Jesus Christ get satisfied to socialize. What I mean by that, do we get so comfortable with just going to church that we forget what our calling is. Jesus said, "Come follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Matthew 4:19 It wasn't an either or...it was both following and fishing. You see we get caught up in one or more of the following lies... it's the churches job or the pastors job or the other person's job to reach people for Christ. We get caught up in our church committees, our bible studies and or fellowships. We forget the great commission and the call to reach one more for Jesus.
Paul said this to the church of Thessalonica, Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us.1 Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you. 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Paul says that in the same way that you came to faith, pray for others to come to faith. Get involved in seeing people come to faith in Jesus Christ. Are you satisfied to socialize or are you ready to reach others with the great news that you have received.
Reach one more for Jesus!
