My Confession: I’m not SUPERMAN! I can’t SAVE anyone!

I used to think that the church is in the business of saving souls. That the pastors and its workers are kind of superheroes who snatches people from clutches of the devil and lead them out of hell. If only that were real. There’s something I’ve realized what should be the business of the church.

I think the business of the church is obeying God and not saving souls which is really God’s responsibility.  It’s when the church and the Christians obey that God works powerfully and people get saved.

I no longer pressure myself to “save” someone by ending interaction with a prayer to receive Christ.  But if i have shown love and kindness that reflected who God is, that is enough to sow seeds of the Gospel that one day will grow.

I’m not Superman. I can’t save anyone.  But if I obey God, people will be saved.

    nakarelate po ako ng madami dito pas.
    ito din ang BS namin nung monday,
    madalas kong/nating inaagawan ng papel ang Diyos,
    madalas din yung Something For God To Do is kinukuha ko na din and at the end of it napapagod/burn out lang ang inaabot ko.

    …and a great reminder for all of us, church and its business

    Be blessed po!

    Di naman talaga ikaw ang magsave sa kanila eh. kaw lang ang gagawing instrument ni GOD. Only the BLOOD OF CHRIST can only save us. its not me, you and other people. But our GOD will use us to let them know who can save them fron their sins and it is our mission.
