Where are we going??

This past weekend I was very fortunate enough to receive a lovely visit from my parents. They got to meet the LHS math department on Saturday for lunch at this GREAT Italian food restaurant. Then they were lucky enough to get to experience a Levelland prom. And let me tell you it is crazy here. They have people bring lawn chairs so they can sit and watch the kids walk in. And some of the people do not even have students still going to LHS. Then on Sunday they were able to go to church with me before having to head back to Dublin.
This is where the title comes in. We had a guest pastor on Sunday. His name was Stephen and he is a pastor at a huge church in London. He has started Clarion Missions. The sermon title was "Unchanging Gospel, Changing World." He talked about how the gospel has been the same but that the way that we present it to people should change. I would not share the gospel the same way with someone from Texas as I would with someone from Jordan. We need to make the gospel relate to them. He used Paul as an example, when he was in Athens he went around the town studying their ideals and culture and then he came to them and said "I see you have even an alter to an unknown god. I am going to tell you about him and how he lives today." (I paraphrased that) He made God relate to them where they were at.
Another point he made is that we, my generation, struggle with become absorbed into the world today. We are beginning to look more and more like the world and stand out less and less. In Sunday school we read a verse from Hebrews about being an alien in this world. That is true we are not of this world and when you hear the word alien you think of a green creature or something like that. If an alien, a green one, was standing in a crowd how easy would it be to point him out. So why are we not the same as that alien. We should not camouflage ourselves to blend in but we should dare to stand out. For others to see that there is something that is different in us. That we have a love like no other and a Father who is watching over us.
Lastly, he talked about going. We need to reach out to this lost and dying world. We should not be afraid to leave everything we know behind and step out on faith. When God calls us to go are we will to do so or do we have something holding us back. There are so many places that Christians are persecuted for their faith and we sit here in American and become comfortable. We need to GO!! We need to not be afraid to share our faith to be placed outside our comfort zone. So my question to you today is Where are you going? Who are you trying to bring the gospel to in this ever changing world?
