You Are Not Meant To Be Trapped

Tonight, as my wife and I do a couple times a week, we visited a local resturant.  We have become fast friends with the owner and his wife because of their walk with Christ and their unashamedly way they do it.  But anyway, as we waited to place our order we listened to the owner talk with another customer and he made the statement, "Christians are not meant to be trapped within the church walls."  This statement struck me not only because of the simple truth in it but this is exactly how I have been feeling the past year.  It is in reality the whole reason behind Tell Someone Ministries. 

He is exactly right!  Christ did not come and die on that cross of tourture just so we could sit in air conditioned buildings on padded pews and pretend everything is all good.  There is a whole world out there that needs Jesus.  People are hurting.  People are lonely.  People are dying without anyone caring enough to tell them the simple plan of salvation.  We can't do that when we are trapped behind the church walls.  Who is trapping us?  No one person except ourselves.  We all need to step out of our comfort zone, get out from the safety of the church walls and do the work that we all are meant to do, telling others about Jesus. 

I am for one, not going to allow myself to be trapped any longer.  I am not going to let my fears, my anxieties, stop me from proclaiming the gospel or His name.  How about you?  Are you tired of being trapped behind those walls?  If so, join me in preparing for battle.  Start praying daily, several times a day.  Dig into the word and find out what exactly Jesus wants us to do. And lastly, let us start spreading the name of Jesus to this lost and dying world, go forth and lets tell someone about Christ.  We can't do this trapped behing church walls.  We must carry Him everywhere we go.   Jesus did not die just for us, He died for everyone.
