Good Morning! Luke 7:36 Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisees house. Jesus was a man who the Pharisees said hung out with Tax Collectors and Sinners. But you see here, He also hung out with them too! You see as Christians, just like Jesus we should be unlike the world in our behavior, but we should be squarely in the world, just as He was. Jesus hung around with everyone. So let me ask you something today, Do I have friends who are sinners? So many of us CHRISTIANS today only have friends that go to Church with us. We only hang with people we know are Believers. So let me ask you this? How can we be spreading the Word of God to people who already know it. Do you have a neighbor or someone at work that doesn't lead a savory life style? And you don't go around them, because of that? How will they ever see or know the love of Jesus if they are never subjected to it. I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for a mans love of Jesus, to open a place on a hill called Christian Love Ministries and welcome in the Misfits and Addicts of life so we could experience Jesus and HIS LOVE! You see in Jesus' day they had Him, and today they have Him as shown through us. So who are you hanging with today? The safe people? The Pharisees and Sadducee's of our day. Are you hanging with the people that as soon as Church is over you go take up one whole section of a Restaurant so people can see how strong and good you are. Now here's the biggie! How about when you see that person on the street who is a little down on their luck. Or maybe like me they had an addiction that was so far out of control, it ruled their life. Because you may not think it of me now, but I have Panhandled on the Street a time or two. But the point I am trying to make today is, If we all live in our little Christian Worlds where we only hang with other Christians, how can we effectively be spreading The Word of Christ? Now I am not saying that we should go hang out in Bars or Crack Houses trying to save people. I'm just saying we should go by Jesus' example. He hung around with everyone. So today as you are out in your little Christian world I want you to think about one thing. When you are standing next to that person in the store, or you are just out in public what is stopping you from talking to them. Is it the way they are dressed? Is it the Tattoos on they're body? Maybe it is the way they smell. Remember Jesus hung around with these people. So are we better than He was? lol lol I don't think so. So who are you hanging around today? People who already know the love of Jesus, or people who need to know it and see it through us. Because as CHRISTians we are who they see Jesus in. So as Jesus did, hang with everyone today. You may just meet someone like me! A Sinner! HABD!
