Crossing over


So I'm going through our book, Call Sign: Wrecking Crew (Storm Warning) when I find this particular section: 

Mac says, “Rev, who do you think Jesus Christ hung out with; the Pharisees and the Sadducees or the common folks?”

“According to the Bible, he mostly visited the common folks.”

“So where do you think some of them hung out?”

“I get your point. It doesn’t mean I have to like it though.”

Since, I don't wish to give too much of the book away, I left out the reason for this conversation.  The excerpt does go to show that as Christians, sometimes we have to go somewhere that doesn't feel right to us. 

I'm not talking about unsafe but more like unsavory.  Sure it is easier to hang around with the people who are the so-called "churched".  On the other hand, how do you expect to make a difference if you don't go to where the so-called "unchurched" go.  I'm not advocating going to every bar or street corner looking for the lost souls.  Nor am I saying go on Missionary trips...unless that is where you want to be. 

What I am saying is if life takes you somewhere...maybe that's where you are needed to be. If you have time...do pray about it to make sure that you are indeed following the right path.  If indeed the Holy Spirit is tapping you on the shoulder, then don't be shy...Go with God.
