The Call
Have you heard The Call?
A trumpet is being sounded.
It’s a clarion call to Christians everywhere.
With all the church buildings, all the Gospel and contemporary Christian
music, all the preaching on radio, TV and even on the Internet, one would
THINK we would see more fruit from all our efforts. Fact is, overall,
we’re irrelevant in our communities. The Christian world is a ghetto into
which many will never stray.
All this Christianity SHOULD be having more of an impact. Far too often,
we worship Worship, attending the services that entertain us most. We rarely
consider The Body of Christ to include the another hurting Christian down
the street. Rather, we are rooms full of individuals, cliques at best.
Anyone hit by a truck is likely to be forever changed by the encounter. We
who say we have encountered Christ should, likewise, reflect a change that
has taken place. With so many “Christians” from sea to shining sea, why
do we seem to encounter so few “changed”people? After all, “church”
refers to those who have been “called out.” With so many being “called out,”
where’s the impact? A few minutes of Christian radio reveals commercials for
rehab centers and weight loss clinics. Where’s the victory? What is it about those
who claim to be followers of Christ that will make those without Christ jealous
for what we’ve found? When does all the supernatural stuff of Scripture start to
come naturally to us?
God IS moving right now. Perhaps you’ve heard the call.
There are many people you know who have never heard of “The Call.”
Check it out. Pray and Obey.
Pass it on.
The Call.
