Connecting to the Lost

Have you ever asked yourself , how can I reach the lost? If you have not asked yourself that question , then you better check your pulse. If your a Christian ,you should have a real hunger to see others repent and come to Jesus . It should be a burden of your heart .

But how and what can one do. Some cults have those annoying door knockers , who seem to show up when its the most annoying time . In general , I do not really think this type reaching out works very well . Most people are so burnt over by these methods that its hard to get a foot in the door , so to speak.

 Lets face this fact , most people do not see the church as they used to . At one time it was a place to attend for guidance . Not really what worship is about but it was why many went  . Oh now they may send children to Sunday school to receive "moral" instruction , but the church has lost its place in the center of the community.So what can one do ? Look around , step back and see where you are. The place you find yourself is the place you can minister. If we expect the lost to come to us and go , tell me about Jesus, we are  deluded.

The natural man is in suppression of the truth of God . They hate God . They need to hear the good news delivered to them. This can start by opening our eyes. Who in your sphere of life does not know the Lord .Make no assumptions based on church attendance either. Do they know the Lord Jesus Christ, understand the idea of what it means to be born again .So what can one do ? Look around , step back and see where you are again. That is your mission field. Your family,your friends , your workplace and yes , even casual encounters. Let them know you really care about them. Share in their lives . Don't be all self righteous . Be a friend to sinners.Even in casual encounters , your attitude and the way your interact could one day come back to bear witness . What happens if that person sees you walking in or out of your church.


[34] The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
(Luke 7:34 )

Jesus mixed with sinners .He walked , talked and ate with them . He comes to us . We need to do the same . God has given us the great privilege of allowing us to enter into the wonder of sharing the gospel . We all were once in the same bout , lost in need of someone to share the gospel with us. So do not separate from the broken around you. Find ways to connect . Love them and in conversations , find ways to mention God, Jesus and the truth of the gospel. Invite them into the conversation, listen and not to get a notch in your Bible Belt , but because you care for them and their souls destination.
