BRING THEM TO CHRIST

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:28).

When we hear the phrase, "bring people to Christ" we are apt to think in terms of tent revivals, evangelistic meetings, and missionary campaigns. I'd like to expand your horizons a bit and get you to see that the whole aim and purpose of God is to bring us to Christ - not once, but continually, daily, hour by hour, minute by minute.

Just as a wildly spinning compass eventually points to true north, so the Holy Spirit is arranging our lives and ordering our steps so that we are constantly being brought back to our "true north", centered and focused on and into CHRIST, forever being made to see our sufficiency is of Him, that He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith, that we are complete in Him, and seated with Him in the heavenly places. As believers, we ought always to encourage and exhort one another, bringing the saint and the sinner alike BACK TO CHRIST (either for the first time or for the one thousandth time), back to their Source, back to their Life

Many times, whistles and bells will bring in the crowds to a meeting, but when we get them there, we must feed them the meat of the Gospel. If they leave the meeting the same way they came, then all we have accomplished is entertainment.
There must be more to revival meeting than entertainment. Is it wrong to have the whistles and bells? Not necessarily, as long as the objective is to share the good news of the Gospel of Christ.
