I was pondering Luke 6:32 this morning.

“And ye love them which love you, what think ye? For sinners also love those that love them.”

If I am only reaching out to those who I have already reached out to; is this the True Love of the Father? Hardly not! I believe that if we all sound the same, have the same doctrine, and only embrace those who we feel comfortable with….THIS IS NOT TRUE LOVE. Later in the passage it says, God is kind to the unthankful and to the wicked. What? Kindness is hardly the word to describe the so-called Christian today’s response to those who don’t believe the way they do.

Get passionate about reaching outside your sphere of influence or comfort zone! If my “Fellowship” is based on being comfortable, or you must fit my “Creed”….. or how about this one, “If your are not to far out there.” This is a Huge Comfort Zone. When looking in scripture “biblical transition” means often leaving the familar, and walking on new ground.

So again…..(1) If you are fundamentally sound, (2) Your doctrine is correct, (3) And those you fellowship with all believe the same…….HEAR IS JESUS WORDS TO YOU, “WHAT THINK YE?” Sorry, but you have not arrived, when you are in such a comfortable state. Search the scriptures. There is huge difference between “biblical transition” and “being comfortable”. Often, those who are comfortable with you, don’t really hear your heart, and thus only assume you believe like they do.

“As iron sharpens iron, so one sharpens another.” - Proverbs 27:17

Being Uncomfortable,
