Produce another to reach another

As leaders of this next generation we are are called and challenged to produce fruit, fruit that remains, fruit that changes the world. Recently i have really taken this to heart. This phrase has burned its way into my everyday thinking. I do not know if i made it up or if its a word mash of things i have heard my whole life but nevertheless it has challenged me and hit me to the core. God has called us to go out into all the world and proclaim His name to every person. At times i am reluctant to do so. I am comfortable in my own life at times... but God has called us to be uncomfortable, to get out of our comfort zones. God has given us a gift to impact people, to produce fruit that remains, to make disciples. We cannot be roof top Christians, waiting on the roof top where nothing can hurt us or make us feel vulnerable. We cannot feel confined to the roof waiting for a savior to save us. We need to be in the action, in the chaos going through trails and tribulations like it says in James 1:2-4 " Consider it a great joy, my brother, whenever you experience various trails, knowing that the testing of your faith PRODUCES endurance. But endurance must do its complete work, so that you maybe be mature and complete, lacking nothing." Through trails, and even persecution Gods gives us endurance, he makes us mature and complete. Giving us the power to make disciples, to produce fruit in our own lives. Like it or not we are the next generations leaders. We are more than conquers. We are over comers of the world. We need to produce another to reach another.

All for now,

Stephen
