Are we supposed to talk with Strangers?


Yes! In Mark 16:15 Christ tells us to go and proclaim the gospel to everyone. Keep in mind that everyone that has not trusted in Christ as their Savior stands condemned before God because of their sin (John 3:18). They need a Savior, and any of them could be living their last day today.

For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(Joh 3:17-18)
EVERY ONE ONE OF US SHOULD BE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE MISSION, BUT EVERY ONE OF US HAS DIFFERENT GIFTINGS AND THEREFORE DIFFERENT ROLES.
There are chaplains and medics on the battlefield that are not in the front lines directly engaging the enemy, but who are there supporting those that actively engage the enemy. There are many players on a football team that never touch the football, but who work together to make sure that the ones carrying the football make progress on the field.
So if your gift is organization and administration, how are you using these abilities to help your church reach the lost and help the hurting? In other words, regardless of your gifting, how are you using them to help your church accomplish its mission? How are you working as part of the team?
We need to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that we are empowered by Him and guided by Him.
Are you on the team? Do you know your role? Are you active on the field? Are you excited about what God is doing with your team?
Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
