Be Different
Greater love has no man than this - that he lay down his life for his friends. Jesus is the ultimate example of this sacrificial love- by his love we are saved from our sins, redeemed from its power, and put into a right relationship with God. We are also called in Ephesians to walk in his love. I believe this means that we are to lay aside things we love to bring the message of Jesus to a lost and broken world. It means saying no to some of the “extra” things our unbelieving co-workers or neighbors might have time for and saying yes to the service of our Lord. I was speaking with my mom recently about how my parents managed to raise 9 kids who are all not only following the Lord, but are also all active in serving Him. She pointed to advice she received before they had any children: that children will follow after what their parents genuinely enjoy doing. When they see you loving going to church and loving to serve our Lord, they will want to follow. It stops being a requirement or a duty. Christ’s great love should compel, embolden, and move us to greater sacrifice, and service. Are you serving?
At CEF we aim to make service joyous and accessible. We believe that a well trained volunteer feels better able to serve. We believe that a well equipped volunteer will feel ready with all they need. And we believe that many believers simply lack opportunity to share the gospel; they want to obey the great commission, but aren’t sure how or where. Join us! You will be a part of such an exciting work, and will see God move!
