Have you ever considered how the shared life you participate in is a witness to the gospel? One of the “dangers” of being formed in small, consistent ways over long periods of time is that everything… well… becomes normal.
The sacrifice….. it’s just what we do.
The weekly meals…. what else would I do for dinner on Wed?
The morning prayer…. of course I’d go, those are friends and we meet with God.
The financial generosity…. we are used to living on 90% of our income.
The helping others move…. it’s a joy to use my truck and time to help.
But each of those things can be responses to the gospel of Jesus- that in turn tell of dimensions of kingdom to all who see. I’d encourage you- watch this short video then think about ways that the life you are living tells about the good news of the kingdom OR confronts some of the old patterns you may have slipped back into!
Enjoy.
