This past Sunday we talked about what it truly means to be a family. When we cross the line into a relationship with Jesus, we become a part of something bigger than ourselves. We get to be a part of the family of God and to do life together. Yet, if we are honoest, most of us jus settle for showing up once a week for an hour to church so we can go our own way the rest of the week.
How do we do life together in this day and age? How do we get connected with others to the point where we can be authentic? How do we stop the crazy schedule of life that seems to control us and dictate how we spend our time?
Here are a few practical suggestions to help build family...
*Call another person or family this week and invite them to join you at your house for a meal
*The next time you go shopping, call someone and invite them to go with you.
*The next time you go out to a movie, McDonald's or somewhere else, invite others to join you
*When you hear someone else have a need, ask if you could come and help
As followers of Christ become a true family; giving, loving, praying and doing life together, we will see God's presence and love draw others to Him in an exponential way.
