Us-Ie: Getting Outside Our Selfie

This morning I sat at our kitchen table with my little brother, Moses as we each had a bottle of Coke and talked about life. As we were sitting there I saw a box filled with questions so I got it out and started asking Moses the questions.

"What global problem do you care most about?"
Moses thought for a moment and then said: Selfishness.
Wow. Think about it, selfishness. If no one was selfish then there wouldn't be war or abortion, huger, homelessness, slavery. Oh my goodness and that's only the beginning. 

  

Right now my church is going through a series called Us-Ie. Talking about getting outside our selfie. It's crazy to me to think about how very selfish and self-centered we have become. 

Think about it, if we were truly unselfish then every day we would be telling people about Jesus. {{Every day}} 

I know, we can come up with so many reasons (excuses) why we don't need to or shouldn't tell our neighbor or the cashier, bank teller, hotel clerk, waiter, pilot or stewardess about Jesus. We think, it will just make them feel awkward. Not to mention the knot you get in your stomach when you decide to tell that person about Jesus.  

 

 It's time for us to stop talking about love and actually start really loving people. We can say we love people as much as we want but it doesn't mean a thing to say that if we are just sitting by watching people die every day that are going to Hell forever. We don't want them to be uncomfortable or awkward so we don't tell them how Jesus died for our sins and then rose from the dead. He defeated death. Y'all, that is HUGE.

 

Have you ever seen an usie with so many people that half the people in the back were cut off? That's an example of someone who has gotten so far outside their selfie that they can't even get all the people they've reached and touched and loved into their usie. Let's become those people that get So far outside our selfie that we can't even count all the people in our usie. 

Y'all are difference makers. Keep up the great work.
