Beloved of All
My evangelism efforts are weak. I am wanting people to know the Lord, and for those who are saved to know him in a deeper way. Churches in my state or rather much of the country have some of the same characteristics that make it hard to reach lost people. Church shouldn't be a business. Church shouldn't operate like a country club. Church shouldn't be indistinguishable from the world around it. Church shouldn't be a club just for married people, elderly, and their children, church shouldn't seem like it's about 90 percent female and 10 percent male. Church shouldn't be a corny comedy club. Church shouldn't be that place the men only go for their wives if they do go at all. Church shouldn't be where most people are biblically illiterate aside from those in leadership. It's hard to reach people who have only known certain forms of church and don't know what it's like to go deeper with the Lord. My church means so much to me, because it offers something different from most churches. Something others can't see, something they sneer at, or think good for you, but I'm fine the way I am. Please pray people I know who don't have a deep relationship with the Lord or no relationship with the Lord at all will know what it means to actually be close with the Lord. Pray for people's salvation. Pray strong laborers in the Lord will reach them in ways I can't. Also, pray I can go back to my church in person soon someday. Thank you.
