Christians Wanted, No Experience Necessary!

Credit :

Let's imagine you are out for a walk one night around your neighborhood when you suddenly hear people screaming. Startled, you look over your shoulder and see a house with flames leaping from the windows and roof.

Someone out front of the house cries out, "There's someone in there!"

Let me ask you, if you were to just keep on walking without giving a passing thought to those in such terrible danger, would that be wrong? At the very least, wouldn't you pull out your phone and dial 9-1-1? Even more, wouldn't you try to find a way into that burning house to rescue that person inside? To do nothing would be outright criminal.

In the same way, however, we walk by people — men and women we know or total strangers — who are without Christ and don't do a thing to help them. We don't even try to initiate a conversation about our faith. We just keep walking. And to be blunt, a fate even worse than a house fire awaits those who reject the offer of forgiveness through Jesus Christ. It is eternal fire. Eternal separation from God.

The last thing God wants is to send any man or woman — deeply loved by Him and made in His very image — to this place called Hell. That's why He sent Jesus to live a perfect life, to die a perfect death on the cross for our sins, and then to rise from the dead.

You might protest, "God could never use someone like me!"

Actually, He can and He will if you will let Him. It could even happen today — before this day is over. He won't force you to share your faith, but He may very well prompt you. And when you take that step of faith, He will empower and use you. Yes, you.
