let's get it done once a year...so they say

What a great idea, a church came up with this great idea in light of ever growing busyness in schedules among their church family. Do you want to hear it? They came up with a plan to get everyone involved in outreach one day a year. You can get it all done in one day and that will be our yearly outreach. One day and it's over.

Really I misled you in my positive raving on the above.

*It was/is a stupid idea
*People are too busy to interact with their neighbors because they are to busy serving inside the church within their bigger and better programs that help them have bigger buildings, budgets, better programs for even more butts in pews/or theater seating.
*How can you reach people for Christ without building a relationship with them first?
*Oh I forgot, it is the churches/Sunday job to win the lost. All I have to do is serve the church on Sunday and let the staff rake in the sheaves of new converts. So they think.

Actually busyness in the church doing good things is just plain trickery of the devil to keep you/us from doing the eternally important things.

Again this outreach once a year deal crap is a stupid idea that rates up with buying a new church sign to grow your church.

Now my blood pressure is at an acceptable level I can now proclaim:

MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE ARE CALLED TO LIVE RADICAL LIVES FOR JESUS EVERYDAY. WE ARE THE "CALLED OUT" ONES. WE ARE THE ONLY JESUS THE HOMELESS PERSON SLEEPING ON THE STREET AND MILLIONS OF OTHERS WILL EVER SEE. PEOPLE NEED THE LORD, THEY NEED TO SEE JESUS IN OUR LIVES EVERY DAY. THEY LONG FOR OUR INVESTMENT OF SACRIFICE IN THEIR LIVES.
OUR WORLD IS SICK OF PLAYING CHURCH AND THEY LONG FOR THE CHURCH TO BE AUTHENTIC, COMPASSIONATE, GIVING IN COMMUNITY, AND INVOLVED AND CARING IN THEIR LIVES.

CHRISTIANS GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY WITHOUT DOING WHAT IS IN THE PARAGRAPH ABOVE SHOULD PROBABLY QUIT FOOLING THEMSELVES AND STAY HOME INSTEAD. AT LEAST THEN THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO CATCH A NEIGHBOR OUTSIDE FOR SOME FRIENDLY CONVERSATION. WE HAVE THE GREAT PRODUCT/ANSWER/GOOD NEWS AND WE HIDE IT. WE HIDE IT - HOW LUDICROUS?
