The Mission Field

One of the more prominent Churches in Colchester used to have a sticker
on the door, so as you were leaving the building, these words were
impressed on your mind:

"You are now entering the mission field"

I HATE cheesy stuff like that, BUT, it's true. And we have to ask
ourselves, how many people are we winning for the Kingdom? This isn't a
rant about numbers, because numbers are meaningless. One day we will be
called to account for what we DO and DON'T do...

Do you believe that?

Do you REALLY? Because if you do, then you need to ask yourself the
question, am I doing what I'm supposed to be, or am I just surviving.

I doubt many of us do enough. I am fortunate to be a part of several
ministries, although I could play a bigger part, but knowing people who
LIVE mission is amazing, inspiring and captivating.

EVERYONE can Evangelise - if you believe that you are God's creation -
YOU CAN EVANGELISE.

There are 4 kids that come to our Church almost every Sunday morning.
This Sunday I had to remove them as they were purposefully being
annoying. OK, so they're only after attention, and Jesus probably
wouldn't have kicked them out, he'd of done something wise and inspired.
However I removed them from the building and had a chat with them
outside. They have been BANNED from every church on the estate.

THIS ANNOYS ME.

I'm praying into this. Something has to be done.

I get fired up about this...watch this space.
