Moody Street

Yesterday I walked Moody street with fliers.
The fliers were advertising a Vacation Bible School at the church.
I passed a handful out but feared going into a store asking if I could post one.
I think people are generally hostile to the Bible.
I think people have been hurt by those thumping a Bible.
I got in the way of my own task.
I walked Moody street with fliers.
Yesterday.

That was my ministry yesterday.  I was a walking distribution center for VBS and I learned so much.  I did not talk much just explained the event to the parents and gave them a flier.  I got better at it as time went on.
I was timid at the beginning but then I realized what I was doing.  I was inviting a parent to enroll their child for a free VBS that lasts 4 days, but may last a life not only for the child, but also the parent.  I know it probably does not happen over night, but children are much more open minded than their parents most of the time.  On my way to a sporting event with my host family I was asked if I think humans are geared to believe in a personal divinity.  Ask the children haha!  Yes, I think there is something inside of us that believes in a greater being.  I do not think one can know the Christian God by this general way that is what scripture reveals.  What I want to say is I am certain of the truth of scripture.  I am certain of the truth of resurrection.  I want to share this! I want to share it with other religions.  I want to share it with those hurt by religion.

The only thing I am unsure of is myself.  That does not go far though, because I know this work in me is not myself.  Within every one of my brothers and sisters is the Holy Spirit waiting to be unchained.  Let the chains break.  Walk the streets with the scriptures in hand.  Read them out loud to all who have ears to hear!  Fall madly in love with our Savior!  Go together because two is better than one, and there is always a third.  Be aware of your environment and find a need you can serve to fill.  Build one another up by listening, eating, resting, and serving each other.  Fill your minds on scripture.  Get in the habit of reading the Bible.  That on its own will stir you.  Do you not realize that this is life?  He rose from the grave!  Dwell on that for a while.

We are not merely flesh with an average life span of 70 something years.  No we are much more than that.  We are the good creation of Holy God.  He is inviting you to fulfill your purpose.  Maybe you will walk your Moody street with fliers.  Maybe you will be a convicting speaker.  Maybe you will sit with the wounded quietly weeping alongside them.  Maybe you will invite a neighbor in your life and you both will learn something.  We leave something behind at the cost of these things.  Our privacy, security, old desires, and most of all our pride.  We receive his grace which is more treasured than any earthly thing.  I walked Moody Street yesterday with fliers in hand.  God used me yesterday.  I thank him for that blessing.

May you be Blessed.
