Reaching Out
Reaching out to others requires we not be too comfortable. Today, too many
Christians are too often in a spiritual place of not wanting to grow. Too often, we are
content with where we are. We are content to put our own wants and needs before anyone
else. Today, in our faith, perhaps we do not have the passion to grow. In the bone and
marrow of our service to Christ, we are content. In our faith, perhaps we feel we are big
enough and we don't care to be bigger. We are satisfied. We are happy. We are fat. We are
lazy. We are rich. Everything is OK. Nothing is really wrong. Everything is peachy keen
and we have little passion. In the faith, we are too often consumed with ourselves, and
with our own little problems. For many of us who are capable of reaching out, reaching out
is OK, but it is just too risky, so we don't. In the faith, we want to be kept. We want to
be secure. We want to be tended to. We do not want to be uncomfortable, uneasy, or
nervous. We do not want to take risks. We are like fish in an aquarium, where all of our
needs, wants, and desires are met. Paul Harvey noted, "Too many Christians are no
longer fishers of men but keepers of the aquarium."
