Summary: I love having interesting discussions with people- especially those who don’t know God. Last week in Dallas I dined with a neurosurgeon who reads the Bible but does not yet believe it or know God. It can be easy to get used to just spending time with all of our Christian friends, can’t it? We see them at church and Bible study. Then we hang out with them during our free time. And before we know it, we are only ever seeing other believers in Jesus Christ. I want to challenge you to get together with someone who doesn’t know God this week. Prayerfully invite a neighbor or co-worker over for dinner. Be hospitable and kind. Get to know them. Ask questions, and listen. Do you know whose example you’ll be following when you do this? Jesus’! If you read the Gospels you’ll see that Jesus spent much of his time eating with those who needed to know Him most. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus said, “...It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Do it this week won’t you? You’ll never regret intentionally setting aside the time to reach your world, talking to a non-believer. It could be very exciting, by the way.
