If you have ever lifted weights, you know that in order for your strength to increase in any length, or in order for your your muscles to grow at all, one must literally break them past the point that they were before, so that when they grow back, they will be bigger, stronger, and more durable.
In the same concept, if you have ever tried to decrease the time it takes for you to run a particular distance, you know that in order for you to break that time, you have to break the barrier of the time you had before, to gain the endurance and speed it takes to complete the race at a faster time.
Its all about pushing the boundaries of our previous comfort zones in order to achieve a higher level of possibility. When comfort zones are not broken, growth does not take place. Over this next week I will be describing different areas in our lives where comfort zones must be broken so that growth may take place. The first one for tonight is evangelism. Tell me, how can one expect to reach others with Christ if they never communicate outside of the Fellowship of Believers? How can one expect to reach the lost if they never take the time to even talk to them? How can someone say that they want to love others the way that Christ loves them if they do not even give the time of day to those who may have never heard the Gospel? The answer: they cant. Here is my challenge, grow out of your comfort zone in this aspect by talking to someone you never have before, and if you are not totally positive they have heard about or understand the Cross, take the time to try to explain it, you may be surprised how much you grow yourself.
