Drive-Thru Evangelism

Hey everybody!
Sorry I haven't posted, I couldn't get into my account for the past couple weeks, and I was (needless to say) very upset.
I hope you all are doing well :)

So I wanted to show you guys this video I saw last night.
Paying for People's Drive Thru

I love this video! It think it really shows what we should be embodying as the hands and feet of Jesus.    And to think, that was all they had to do. Pay for someone's maybe $5 meal. That's all it took to show the radical love of God. When I think about it, I wonder how many times I have passed up opportunities because they might cost me time, money, or comfort. Of course, the problem with that is, God never EVER called us to be COMFORTABLE. There is no verse in the Gospel that says "Go unto all the world and live a comfortable life." God calls us to live radically for him. When was the last time you heard of radical and comfortable describing the same thing? They are actually opposites. If we live lives as "comfortable Christians", we are telling God that he just isn't important enough to go outside our comfort zone.
Now, I'm not saying you have to pay for someone's meal every time you go through the drive-thru.

But what if we did?

For one, I'd probably be skinnier... along with my wallet. However, imagine the radical change that would ensue because I went just a little bit out of my self-oriented comfort zone! That sounds pretty crazy.
I'd like to let you know, dear reader, that I am making this decision as I write.
I'm going to kick myself for this in a week or so.. but I'm gonna do it.

I will pay for someone else's order every time I go through the drive-thru.

So maybe I spend $50 extra dollars a month. That sounds like a pretty low price to show the love of God, considering all he did for me.

I want to encourage all of you to do something radical tomorrow, or in this next week. It doesn't have to be big to make a big impact. Be RADICAL, as Christ calls us to be.

In Christ,
Jackie
