How many times have I shouted from the roof top that we don't go to church on Sunday; we are the church. The building we meet in, is not the church. We as believers are the church. We are the church when we gather on Sunday, when we serve our community, when we gather at other times and we individually may be the only connection with the church that some of our friends and neighbors will ever have.
Today I left the theatre thinking about those that I wished had gathered with Church at the Falls today. My heart breaks when I think of a world that is so needy. My heart breaks for believers that are struggling.
I said all this to get to my point. When I got home my neighbors were outside. A couple who have become dear friends of ours. Friends that I long to see have a relationship with God. Like the blog title says, I'm a little slow, but today the light went on again. As I talked with them I had the opportunity to interject God into our conversation, to encourage them and to offer prayer. You see, I brought the church to them today. How is that? I am a part of the church and today I entered their lives and showed God's love. I showed them a little part of the church. I trust one day I will be assured of their relationship with Christ. I also hope that one day they will join us on a Sunday morning. Until then I will be the only picture they have of my Savior's Church. I'm glad church wasn't over at 11 am today. I'm glad I got a renewed picture that those who need Him don't always walk through the doors of our theatre, the church needs to go to them. Today was a great day!
I hope you will do the same and bring hope to your world. Share the gospel and when necessary use words.
