Hey everybody, I would like to thank you again for reading and supporting me. You are very encouraging to me. I have had a TON going on in my mind lately, and you can expect to read about it eventually ha. But for now I have a short thought that I want to share with you all.
Life is like capture the flag...Yep. More specifically, church is like home base to us. That isn't a bad thing in itself, but what happens when you are so afraid of being tagged that you never leave home base? What if you leave you faith at home base (Sunday Christian). You will never win if you are on base!
So we go out into the world cautiously, after leaving home base, and what do we do when someone catches off base? They ask us if we are playing and we say, "No! I called timeout!" I work with elementary school kids and they lie like that all the time. In reality they are playing, just afraid to be caught. Stop hiding your faith!
Oh, and definitely don't get caught puppy-guarding...That is staying too close to home base. If so, the other team has the right to call you out.We gotta go outside the church. That's where the lost are. That takes a risk. I would argue that church in a building only is no church at all. Look at Jesus' ministry if you don't believe me.
So stop the puppy-guarding, get off base from time-to-time, and take risks! As always, pray for humility and wisdom in everything. Get out there, we're on mission.
