The truth about inviting people ot your church

 How many of you have ever invited another person to come to your church so that they can get saved??? Tell me if someone told you to come to their house  bring all you have and we will take care of you.  Would you honestly go to a stranger and bring all you have to their house and trust that they will care for you??? I hope your answer is no.We must show people the love of Christ before we start to invite them to Church. We need them to see what we have and that they would want that kind of peace and joy in their life.  Have you done that??? Or are you all about getting them in and letting God do the work?   God  does it through people.  So its time you be that person, stop leaving the work up to the Pastor because here is the deal, regardless if he has a degree or is called by God to preach, we all have been called to be ministers so look to God not your deacons or the prayer warrior look to God to use you as that instrument. Don't invite anyone to your church if your not willing to show them first why they need Christ. You might say well I'm not sure how to show them that they need Christ.  Its very simple let the life you live speak of Christ... Some people you invite may not have come because they don't see a light in you, they can't actually tell you from the other sinners in the room.  So if your  only religious minded, you are not doing God's will or his work. But if you are in a relationship with Christ let the world see that.  Otherwise stop trying to be a kingdom builder Christ already did that, he simply wants you to be a living breathing example of him for the world to see.  If my word sting good, if they upset you good, if you agree fine also. My job is not to give you a feel good message or word but to be honest with you about what Christ desires of you and I. Yes we are to do what (Luke 14:1, 12-24)
 says to do, but realize that when we invite them let us make sure they know its because we care we are not adding numbers for our church but more concerned about them and we want them to see and feel the love of Christ .....
