Good evening, Gulf...((HUGS))...pull up a chair and relax. I am shutting down and heading home.
There was a time when a certain West Coast city may have been one of the most hostile places to the gospel in America. Posters in coffee shops advertised witchcraft meetings where you could learn to cast a spell on your enemies.
It was such a challenging environment for churches that they struggled to get building permits from the city council. And there was a lot of woe is me talk among church leaders. Until a group of pastors began to meet to pray regularly and then decided to take the love of Jesus into their city. They started a ministry to the homeless, to those suffering with AIDS, to teens at risk. Faithfully and intentionally they brought the love of Jesus to the needs of hurting people. Before long, the city agencies started calling on them for help. Better yet, the churches started growing as people responded to the gospel in action.
Which proves the point: Sometimes youve got to show up before you speak up. No one really wants to hear what we have to say about the love of Jesus until theyve seen it in our lives (Matt. 5:16). Then even the most ardent opponents to the gospel may just be glad youre in their town, their office, or their neighborhood. And then you just might be able to tell them about Jesus.
Evenin’ gg...how ya been?
