It's Time

It’s time. Christmas Eve is just two days away. Jesus has come. Light has entered the darkness. Hope is here.

Over the next few days, millions of people are going to be packing out hundreds of thousands of churches across the nation. Countless people are going to find life in Christ and see their destinies dramatically change in an instant. And God is going to be glorified through it all.

As we get ready to do the most important and significant work in the world this week, I have a little advice for pastors. And really anyone involved in making a Christmas worship experience happen:

Don’t worry about being cute or clever. Just boldly present the Gospel and clearly invite people to respond to Jesus. People who are lost aren’t going to tweet about a cool or corny line they hear about Jesus. But they will tweet about it when they meet Him. Pray every second you can. Have faith that He is going to move in ways you can’t even imagine. Be ready for when He does.

And have fun. This is why you got into the ministry. This is why you serve at your church. Enjoy it.

I’m praying that God would give all of our churches a seemingly impossible, logic defying, God glorifying harvest this week.

We have the greatest news in the world. And it’s news that simply must be told.

It’s time. Hold nothing back.
Go big. Be bold. Be clear.
Watch God move. Then celebrate like you never have before.
