Being Ready is Paramount

I’m feeling mixed emotions this morning….I’m feeling heartbroken, ticked off, and I’m passionate for those who don’t know Jesus this morning (and everyday)….I can’t get my mind around how the human brain works.  I believe if we (christians) are truly going to change the world….and I mean change the flippin world, we have got to interact with those who are different from us.  That seems simple, right?  That seems like that doesn’t even need to be said, right?  The problem is that it does…If we are going to reach the lost, we must quit spending all our time with Christians and be around those who don’t know Jesus.  We have to “break up with a christian” to give ourselves opportunities to reach the lost…The next thing is that we have to be ready…When you are around someone who is lost, guess what?  They aren’t going to think like you, behave like you, or believe what you believe!  They aren’t like you.  You have to know how to handle that person, how to interact with them, you must know how to minister to them.  Their eternity depends on it!  Don’t just think because you know facts about Jesus that you really “know” HIM.  Have you experienced that life change that only HE can provide.  That’s what those around us care about.  I believe they don’t care about the facts you learned in Sunday school when you were a child, they want to see the life change in you—before they consider traveling a road they’ve never been down.  Are you ready?  Can you handle it when someone around you doesn’t believe what you do?  Do you know what to say?  Do you know how to act?  Do you know how to handle the situation?  Are you ready?  Are you ready?  I hope WE get ready soon, because people are going to hell because WE aren’t ready…
