What do you want for Christmas?
Besides a new ACL for Carson Wentz??🤷🏻♂️
The older I get, the stranger that question becomes. When I was a child, Christmas was just about the gifts. What I was getting, and when.
Just like most folks, as I age my priorities change. So if you would ask me today, “What do You want for Christmas?” I would honestly answer “To reach people for Jesus.
What??
Wait, what??
Yes, that’s what I said. And it’s not because I write a faith based blog every week. It’s because that’s the most important thing I can do during my brief time on this earth.
Our whole culture has taken a dramatic turn away from what scripture teaches, and has embraced a new “Me first mentality.” We no longer embrace the church, instead we use religion as a scapegoat for the results of bad decisions we as a people have made over the last few years.
We are to blame for the world we have created. It’s called “free will.” God enables human beings to make their own decisions. But in turn, we have to take ownership for said decisions. it’s on us.
So if you asked me what I “Want for Christmas?” my answer actually makes a lot of sense.
I want people to find Jesus. I want them to have relationship with him. I want people to realize that there is hope in this dark lost world. That there is really an cure for all your pain, depression & anxiety.
I want to reach people for Jesus.
What do you think?
Till next week,
PJ.
