Preaching to the Choir

Commentary on Matthew 9.

That’s such a lame cliche. Anyway… something really stuck out to me in this passage. It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. That’s very true, unless you’re Mike Huckabee. But I won’t get into preventative healthcare. The point is that I feel sometimes we spend too much time with eachother. We hang out in our groups, be it small group, sunday morning, SI, whatever, and we’re perfectly comfortable talking about God. And that’s wonderful. It’s very important for us to continually grow in our faith. The problem is that we, or I at least, have trouble converting that fervor into something I can use around nonbelievers. I spend so much time with the healthy that I don’t mess around with the sick. There’s something wrong with that. That’s actually one of my biggest concerns about college. I think I need to branch out of my comfort zone a little. Talk about God with the ones who really, really need him. It’s a call to arms.
