Bring a Friend Along

September 23, 2020

As disciples of Jesus, we have the good news that this world needs to hear, but are we sharing it? Instead of waiting for people to come to you in need, have you ever considered inviting them to walk with you as you follow Jesus? I promise that it’s not as difficult as you think it is. It’s time to go the 2nd mile in bringing friends along.

We’ve grown comfortable throwing words online and uncomfortable looking people in the eye. The most Christ-like conversations happen not in comment sections but in gracious conversations.

In a world where everyone’s looking down, the most radical thing you can do is look up. Giving someone your full attention is one of the rarest spiritual gifts in our distracted age. Nothing reflects Jesus more than your undivided attention.

We live in an always-on world where every vibration feels like a summons and every alert feels urgent. But constant urgency doesn’t lead to greater faithfulness; it leads to exhaustion. If the devil can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.

In a world where every voice fights to be heard, I used to feel like silence meant failure. I thought people needed my opinion on every breaking story. But constant commentary led to constant anxiety. Eventually, I realized the world didn’t need my post; it needed my presence.

Social media isn’t evil, but it isn’t innocent either. It can inspire you toward godliness or drag you into distraction. If you want your life to count, you have to take control of your scroll.

Your phone is shaping you. Every buzz, swipe, and scroll forms habits, cravings, and even your identity. Technology promises godlike power, but it always falls short. Discipleship involves refusing to be shaped by our screens and instead renewing our minds by God’s Word.
