Invitation
Some of us think that the only thing we have to do to bring people to
the Lord is simply invite them to church. If we can just get them in the door,
then it’s up to the Spirit, the preacher and church fellowship to keep them
engaged. When Paul spoke to the Athenians, he didn’t wait for Silas, Timothy or
anyone else to make a case for Jesus. He was so acquainted with his subject and
his supportive argument that even though some in his audience sneered, others
said, “We want to hear you again on this
subject.” (Acts 17:32 NIV) As mature believers we are all equipped with the
Word of God, so we know our subject…and yet I wonder if any of us have been
invited back to speak again.

Gail;
-----I don’t recall ever being invited back. I have one friend who has for years said he would give me a time to show him what makes Jesus real and the Word true. But he never has, even though I’ve kept reminding him. Paul must have gotten lucky. I’ve had to do my best over those years by just trying to be it in the way I lived around him.
Love you all,
Steve Corey
