Pastor, I mean no offense but I must know, “When are we going to tell people about Jesus”?  We sit here having good food while I personally know of a park filled with homeless people nearby, who could benefit from a bite and some Spiritual food as well.  I have personal knowledge of 5 old folks homes within 3 miles of our church, to which we could easily commit to one visit per month to spread love, joy, encouragement and the gospel.  I spoke with the administrator of the orphanage myself and she keeps making kind excuses for the fact that none of the thousand churches in our city have ever shown up to be father the fatherless children.  Then let us not mention the hospitals, the prisons or simply the public square.  When Pastor, when?

Ephesians 4 tells us how the church is to train up pastors, evangelists, disciples, etc.  When have we had one of our youth get in the pulpit to practice preach on a Friday night after a basketball game and a meal.  What about the days and nights our church is empty when there could be bible studies of all manner or foreign language services going on.  What about food pantry items, and preparations for disaster, shortage or holiday community support?  When are the men going to walk our neighborhood and let everyone know that we are here, by simply sharing a kind word of prayer, a mowing of a lawn or movement of some trash?  We were meant to be the living church, that demonstrates our love for the world by doing extraordinary things that proved we are not of this world in the power of a spirit that will imbue, empower, provide and provision the supernatural means to do so, yet we forsake all that and stay inside listening to four or five hours of sermons with maybe an hour or two of study.  Where is the meat if I am beyond the milk in my fellowship with Christ?  Where are the works as a natural outpouring of my faith?

When do I graduate to disciple or do I just get to sit here with someone telling me that a member is the next step in my Christian growth?  Sorry, this isn’t cutting it for me anymore, in fact the Holy Spirit is convicting me so badly that I have to get off my butt and actually follow Christ.  There are people who will go to hell if I don’t take the time to get outside this church and spread the gospel.  It is time to go find them and yank them back from the abyss before judgment is called.  Rapture is imminent as is Christ’s return and I don’t want to waste another day, sitting here in my comfortable chair disobey my Lord and savior not doing what He ordered me to do.  Shall I continue to follow you if you are unwilling to follow Him?  I think not.  I will follow him, I love you, but there is no longer any logical reason for me to sit here silent.  The night comes, let us use the day that remains to do great works for Christ.  In Jesus’ Name
