Invite, that they might know what's right
When Adam sinned against God, one of the things that human inherited is the attitude of being rebellious and prideful that sometimes they want to play God.
Catholicism has done a great damage in twisting the teachings of the New Testament from changing the means of salvation down to the meaning of the ordinances. I do believe that these teachings were very clear to them. They just created a reason for them to change it. This made me appreciate and be grateful to God more. Churches do really have differences especially when it comes to beliefs and practices. I am so blessed that the church that I am in holds the right teachings that comes from the New Testament.
There were times that I am hesitant to invite my friends to the church not just because of the fact that we have different beliefs but also because i am afraid that they won’t be able to like everything in the church. This is the attitude that I need to change. I don’t need to be ashamed. Instead I need to be encouraged to invite them knowing that what the church teaches is in accordance to the teaching of the Bible. Who knows, that might be the time they will be able to encounter Jesus and be opened for the truth.
Few days more and it’s Christmas time. For sure churches will organize a Christmas party in the church or even in the outreaches. I think this is a good time to invite friends and relatives who are not in Christ yet. The best way to do it is to ask the Lord for guidance and wisdom in approaching them. There is no harm in trying.
This Christmas, churches can be an avenue in reaching out the lost. This is also my prayer that i will be able to make my friends’ Christmas even merrier by introducing to them the Person behind the season.
