Quick, <<First Name>>, what's the first thing that comes to mind when looking at this picture? Anything? Good? Bad? Indifference? Sadness? What emotion does the scene draw from you?

On Sunday nights we've been studying the book of Romans. So much of Romans is rich in doctrine and the deep things of God.

Depth. Meat. Big words. Theological discussions. What Christian doesn't like to get into this type of stuff.

But then we hit Romans 12:9-21. What happened to the "good" stuff? Why mess up our great discussions with all this earthly stuff? This shallow stuff? Take me back to the deep theological things please!

Ah, but there's the crux of the matter. The deep, meaty stuff of theology is about real life. If our theology is not changing our real lives and the ways we respond to others, then, think about it, do we really believe that deep stuff?

If theology is only increasing your knowledge, but not changing your life, do you really believe what you know?

Just keeping it "real."

Sometimes, <<First Name>>, it's seems as if we drift, doesn't it? As a church, and as Christians, we set out on a course of lifting high the name of Jesus and making a dent in the darkness of the world.

But many times, somewhere along the way in our quest, we're subtly pushed and nudged off center. People start to become a hindrance to our mission. We start seeing them as obstacles. "If only they would get with the program I could get this done." "Can't they see what I'm doing and where I'm headed?" "If it weren't for these people, I'd get this mission thing done!" You would think that if it weren't for people, we'd get this darkness thing eradicated quickly. Our mission would be done and we could move on to mission #2.

In the mission to lift high the name of Jesus and make a dent in the darkness, there are two necessities. One is the presence of the Holy Spirit in us and in our mission. He is the fire of our mission. But the second neccesity is PEOPLE! People are not hindering our mission, THEY ARE THE OBJECT OF OUR MISSION!

The goal of our mission is NOT to complete it, but to CONTINUE it! "You will be my WITNESSES, telling PEOPLE about me everywhere…" (Acts 1:8, NLT). See, our mission and people are not two separate issues. They are one in the same.

So, the next time you catch yourself thinking that people are in the way of our (and God's) mission, remember, that thinking is a sign of drifting. Stop where you're at and ask God to bring you out of that drift and back to center. Ask Him to let you see people as He sees people. Then get back to mission #1.

And, oh yeah, there is NO MISSION #2!
