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?
