Determining to be a Follower of God…Taking Christianity Into the World 

If we are indeed a follower of God then we will look to honor his last words before He/Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven. Go tell the world about me. Jesus did not ask us to think about it. He did not say maybe we should do it one day. He did not suggest that it was only for the pastor, deacons or elders but it was for all Believers to tell other the Good News of Salvation. As such we are all ordained for a mission, set aside for a special purpose and intended to do great things in God’s name. In fact, like Nehemiah in the Old Testament we are all Lay Ministers to who God has a divine mission for us to accomplish. Be it globally or locally, God wants to do great things through you: the church. Gods people the church consists of many attributes: 

-The church is the entire community of those who believe whether you be Baptist, Episcopal, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist or non-denominational. 

-The church is the Body of Christ, whether old or young, affluent or poor. All of us who Believe have an essential and critical role in both supporting other Believers and leading those who do not know the Word to gain wisdom and faith of Jesus Christ. 

-The church is not reserved for the clergy or the church staff but all who believe and profess His saving grace. 

-The church consists of many who co-labor to do the work of Jesus, working together for a common cause, seeking God’s will, power and blessing. 

-A church is a growing active dynamic presence and is not passive or indifferent. In fact the original sin of Adam could have been avoided if only his faith had been appropriately concerned and vibrant.  

God intends us all people of faith to do great things in God’s name. In fact, we are all Lay Ministers who are to Dare to Attempt Something so Great for the Kingdom of God that it is doomed to failure, lest Christ be in it!
