“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…” Matthew 28: 19 first part

Think, for a moment, about places where you hear something that is going to change your life. At a hospital or Dr’s surgery, or maybe a crisis intervention when someone was about to be exposed to danger.

One that is not often thought about is a church or a place of worship. Whilst waiting for a video to load on Youtube, for 5 seconds at least until I had the option to skip it, I was subjected to an advert that I had no interest in. My finger was primed on the skip countdown as I waited to get back to ‘my’ life after this unwanted interjection. Five seconds that is all it took. It got me thinking.

How long does it take to say something that is going to change someone’s life? How long does it take to say; “I’m praying for you- no, seriously, I really am!” or “God has a plan for your life”.

Do we really want to change someone’s life? How about us being the church for them if they have no intention of going there? It doesn’t have to be a sermon about the thesis of faith or answering all of the questions about religion. Take 5 seconds today to save a life for God by reminding them or introducing them to Him.
