Comfort

After some observations over the past couple of weeks and even the past couple of years, I have come to the conclusion that Christians are just simply too comfortable. Yea I know, we hear that all the time, "it's time to get out of your comfort zone...etc..." but seriously it is that time. We see so many people in need of something and we know exactly what they need, yet all we have for them is pity. Instead of offering them the love of Christ, we sit there and say that we are sad and sorry for their situation. If you had some life threatening disease that was curable would you want somebody to give you the cure or simply feel sorry for your situation? People DO NOT NEED OUR PITY!!! If we claim to know Christ then we need to stop talking about how sorry we are for their situation and get off of our butts and get out of our comfort zones and make a difference. It's the same thing as if you have a problem with somebody. It is time for you to stop talking about the person or their situation and go to them directly! 1 Peter 3:15 says that we are to be ready to give a reason for the hope that we have with gentleness and reverence. It is time for us to be out there in the world telling others about the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord! As Romans 8:38-39 says, nothing absolutely NOTHING will separate from the love of God, and yet we sit back and watch the people around us and all we have is pity. Revivals will happen when Christians stop having pity and share the love of Christ with others! Are you still sitting back with pity?
