There has to be more to the Christian life than attending endless Christian services and studies. There has to be more than planning or attending the next event. Yet many believers never progress past that point. They faithfully attend worship services and Bible studies. They support events. They seldom live on mission.
Living life on mission for Jesus is a daily choice. Not a once or twice a year event. You choose daily to live on mission for Him. It might look like mowing a neighbor's yard. It might look like visiting the hospital. It might mean scheduling a lunch to reach out to someone. I It might also mean a phone call, a text or an old fashioned letter. Sometimes it could mean actually going somewhere to serve someone out of your comfort zone.
How many more things do people have to attend before they actually live out all the truth they fill up in their notebooks?
I am contemplating what could happen if a group of students and adults really prayed and received a burden from the Lord. If they received that burden and and God planted an idea in their minds on how they could live on mission. That would be so much more adventurous and fulfilling than just learning more information. We are called not to only be hearers abut also to be doers. Doers of God's word. Doing is fulfilling. Serving isn't always easy but it is living with a kingdom mindset. It is what we are called to do.
Of course there is more to learn. There is also more to live. So let's constantly live out what God reveals to us. Let's constantly be on mission for Him. To the glory of His name.
