So this week, I’m posting along with Ben Myers, a 13 year old member of Messiah and a future pastor extraordinaire, who is hanging with me today and thinking about ministry.
We discovered two videos that are very different, but share a common theme.
In the first video, you’ll meet the store manager of a cell phone shop who was being robbed. In most circumstances, our first reaction is to hand the guy with the gun the green stuff. She takes a different approach.
In the second video, we hear the story of a Christian comedian who is overcome by how horrible his surroundings are- everything from a 15 year old hotel manager, to a stinky room, to the hairy guy jumping into his hot tub, but then is taken completely aback by a question out of the blue.
After you’ve taken some time to watch these videos, it really gets a person thinking. How many situations are we in on a daily basis, how many chances are there if we’d open our eyes. Who’s your hairy guy or robber that you’re overlooking because of what’s going on on the outside? How can you look for the inside?
You may not get a chance to give a full witness, but are there ways our example can open doors? Are there little comments or pieces that we can throw out that help people know we are open to spiritual conversations?
This was great. Time to get us all thinking about our most important job. Thanks
