Today, I would like to share an extraction of Ps Jeff's preaching in GC, April 2010. In this sharing, there'll be just 3 points.
- God loves people, that He gave His Son to die on the cross for people's sins for their salvations.
- God loves people, that He gave His Son to die on the cross for people's sins for their salvations, but most of the readers of this post won't even give a SHIT of it.
- By now, almost all of the readers of this post will focus on the word "SHIT", rather than thinking of ways to resolve the salvation of the lost ones...
The sharing above actually indicates, most of us has lost focus of fulfilling the Great Commission that Jesus gave, when;
- things are out of OUR expectations
- the so-called results that we expected didn't come out immediately or in OUR own timing
- minor compared to salvation of the lost is being made MAJOR by our own perspectives
- what we believe to be, is not being realized in the real realm
- situations change
Today, are you distracted and hesitate to share the Good News because of the different thinking that your audience has? Are you reluctant to reach out to the ones that have different habits? Are you refraining yourself from interacting with people that speaks different language? Are you judging the ones that are not outspoken will not be a so-called "successful Christian leader"? Have you stopped to go to church because it doesn't function as you've wanted it to be? Are you complaining all these things around you that are not perfect and yet didn't make a difference to it by continuing to share the Good News to the people around you?
We've been selfish all the time without ourselves knowing it... All those things above will sum up in one sentence: WE WANT AND EXPECT EVERYTHING TO GO OUR WAY... If we continue to live a kind of life like this, we'll never reach satisfaction, because human is greedy, and in our dictionary, we only know what is "MORE". If we really want to move and run as a body of Christ and family of God, everyone of us, must run to the same WANTS and EXPECTATIONS, which is GOD's HEARTBEAT and WILL...
Matthew 28:18-20
