Are You Kingdom Building?

Okay…so I’ve caught those subtle hints about not posting everyday…and yeah, I do have thoughts every day, but honestly some of them you would not want me to share! But now things are better…charge conference is over, Praise God! I have figured out (hopefully) the problems with some audio files on the sermon page…and while I am struggling with why my radio laptop will not record correctly with the audio system here at the church…in time it will be solved (again…hopefully). So with those struggles behind me, here goes. Leonard Sweet, a great visionary of our day, recently observed, “If Jesus is the human face of God, then is not the Bible God’s Facebook?” He is so much more clever than I am! But, while I admire Leonard, I am a much more practical person…so here’s my observation: if we are God’s hands and feet and mouthpiece, what opinion of Jesus Christ do people get after they’ve been in contact with us? Let’s be practical…and real. How are you, God’s messenger to a lost world, how are you sharing (dare I say witnessing) Jesus to others? Think of it this way…if you were the only one God had chosen to let others know of Jesus and his saving grace…how large would the Kingdom be? Are you doing your part? Think about it…God has gone to great lengths to give you certain gifts, both natural and spiritual…to give you certain friends, co-workers, family members…are you bringing those two together for the glory of God? What ya waiting for…the rocks to cry out?
