What Do You Care About?

August 26, 2008 by Gilbert Leave a Comment

I once heard Billy Graham say that if you knew the cure for cancer, he found it highly unlikely that you would keep that info to yourself.  But yet as Christians we know the cure for sin but are often afraid to share it with others.

How crazy is that!  I read something this morning along the same lines and want to share it with you…

If you REALLY believe in the saving power of Jesus Christ then why in the world would you show up at church every single Sunday without a carload of people who need Him?

Does Jesus save? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Does He change lives? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Has He called us to REACH OUT…or be obsessed with other things?

Jesus said in Luke 19:10 that He came to seek & save that which is “lost!”

If that was the heart of Jesus…and Jesus lives in our hearts…then that HAS TO BE IN OUR HEARTS AS WELL!!

We CANNOT claim to be followers of Jesus and NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT HE CARES ABOUT!!!

Remember one of our core values…lost people matter to God and therefore they must matter to me.

This Sunday as we wrap-up the God at the Box Office series, I’ll be sharing insights from The Dark Knight.  From start to finish I’ll be sharing the good news that Jesus loves us and came to die for us.

So the question is…are you going to keep this good news to yourself?  Or are you going to invite a carload of people to come with you this weekend?  Your answer says a lot about your faith and your priorities.
