Reaching the World

"We need to reach the world". Yes this is true. But, so often this statement comes from people or groups that are doing nothing but talking about the need. I think many of us enjoy the discussion more than the "reaching". If we keep talking is such broad terms, we will sound passionate and,... almost like we are doing something.

I think we need to dial down the rhetoric and really take a look at how "we" reach the world with the love of Christ. Let's not talk about "the world", or even "the community". What about your life? Who are you loving in your little circle of people you touch every day? Who are you sharing your life with? Who are you praying for, doing coffee with, playing with, eating with, etc.?

You see, that is the real question. That is the problem or issue we need to be talking about. It is so much easier to talk about "world" problems than to get dirty in the muck of relationship. If we all did a little bit, the world would be reached.... You tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and...... Vidal understood.

Peace,
