Jesus was all about going to where people were. Matter of fact - he was always going to the places and people no body else seemingly cared about or wanted to go. He spoke and forgave the Women at the Well, He spit on a mans eyes - that others wanted to just overlook, He was all about taking what HE had to the masses!
Understand---going to church is the easy part................BEING THE CHURCH - is the goal we should have. Alot of people "go" to church - and that is great and needed and essential to our relationship as a Christ -Follower...However, when we BECOME the church...than we are able to take what we have to the world! The world is not looking necessarily for another "building" - but instead for a church that can be seen no just on Sundays----but Everyday!
Lets make it our goal to bring the church to the world---not sit idle and wait for the world to get to the church.............
"Whatever it Takes"
