It's Been A While

Like the title, we haven't said anything on this blog for quite a while. Maybe it's because not many read blogs anymore. Everyone is talking on facebook, and reading each other's tweets. Both of which I participate in. I wonder what kind of friendships and relationship do we build on social networks? Can we really know someone? Can we really understand what someone is going through? We are the masters of reading too much into something, and mis-interpreting stories. What can we do? I believe we must take time for our relationships outside of our computers and cell phones. We must remember that personal one-on-one time is incredibly valuable.

Does God wait for our text and updates to find out how we're doing? He knows us, and walks with us each and every day. He desires that fellowship with us. Yet, we give it to Him in quick drive-through devotions. Rather than get in the restaurant, sit down, order, eat, and interact with those around us, we settle for the quick fix. Our relationship with God takes time, and is a process. The pay-off is great though! Jesus spent a lot of time with His disciples, and built wonderful relationships with them. Look what happened. The disciples went out and made a difference in their world. All because they spent time with the Master, learned how to live life with others, and then did it.

How much time do you spend with other people? Making disciples is living life with each other. Who is God asking you to spend more time with?
