Your life is your mission

One of the reasons that I love being a soccer coach is that I actually get a chance to rub shoulders with people that do not go to our church. Being on staff here, my "circle" of people is narrow and pretty much confined to the church. But the parents know about my job, so they are watching how I treat their children all the time, and judging not only my walk with Christ, but Christians as a whole.

Recently, a family came to our Welcome tent after having visited the church a couple of times. Upon inquiring how they came to visit our church, we found out that the person who had helped to take care of a family member in the hospital attends our church and invited them. The family is wanting to get plugged in and discipled.

Both of these things are reminders that we really are making disciples everywhere we go in everything we do. Our Making One isn't just happening in private meetings we have with people we are in relationship with. It is happening on your job, no matter where you work or what you do. Do you invite people into your life or exclude them? Are you available or too busy? Are you displaying the fruit of the spirit all the time, or only at church?

Be a disciple. Then you will be making disciples, whether you are trying or not.
