We are to go out and bring in!

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (Colossians 3:12-17)

The CHURCH is for the world....not for us! What?!?! Yes, the Church is for others to come and feel safe, loved, accepted, and wanted. It is a place of refuge for the lost and sick. It is a place of hope for the hopeless. It is a home for the homeless.

In the Book of Acts we see the apostles going about reaching the lost and inviting them into the family of God. Church was not simply a place we go to on SONday out of obligation or a show we watch on our devices. Ever since we were told to "be fruitful and multiply", we are to go out and bring in!

We are saved by God to go out and lead others to Him. We are not saved to be safe and secure in a building. How can we be more active for Jesus?
