“The idea of conversion itself would come to the world through Jesus.”

A thought by John Ortberg (2012-08-07) from his book, Who Is This Man?: The Unpredictable Impact of the Inescapable Jesus (p. 130). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. (Click on the title to go to Amazon.com to buy the book.)

I understand that some people have a problem with the matter of Christians striving to convert people who don’t believe like them.  That is one of the things they say they don’t like about Christians but that is one thing we can’t help doing.  As John says, “The idea of conversion itself would come to the world through Jesus.”  And to us it is a very good thing.  It is good news and we want to share it.

John says, “Where before Jesus was there a movement that actively sought to include every single human being, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, status, income, gender, moral background, or education, to be loved and transformed? Not only had there never been a community like this before, but there simply had never been the idea of a community like this before. It was Jesus’ idea. And it was happening.”  And it still is happen today.

Everyone is invited.  No one is excluded.  And you are invited too.  And this is a very good weekend to give us a try.  When you come you will hear one of the most unbelievable stories you have ever heard. 

You might say, where do I go?  Well on the side of this blog you will see, My favorite sites.  Now the Dodgers is not a church but the other four are.  If you live in the Los Angeles' area I invite you to go on their sites and find out their times and their locations and then drop in.  Now two of those churches are a part of a group of churches called the Church of the Nazarene and you probably will find one in your community, no matter where in the world you live.  I invite you to look on Goggle and see if you can find one and then I invite you to check them out.  It could be the best thing you have ever done.

This weekend is the best time to give us a try.

Are you going to do it?
