Guns for Jesus

In just a week our church will be filled with almost 400 men, many of whom do not attend church regularly. But they do hunt regular. I couldn't be more excited. Not because of the hunting. I like guns, knives and all, but the real excitement comes from the hunting Jesus will do. I have been praying for weeks now that Jesus will hunt down and "bag" some trophies for his "game room" in heaven. There will be men coming who think we are filling their bellies with deer meat, when what they are really getting is the Bread of Life and Living Water. There may be some who think our crass way of reaching the lost somehow compromises our integrity a as Bible believing church. Crap on that. I see it is a fulfilling the gospel call to be all things to all men to win some (1 Cor. 9:22). If I have to wear flannel and listen to country music for a few hours to win some guys to Christ, or even just plant some seeds, then I am willing to go out of my comfort zone for a while. And it will be. But God will get the glory when Bubba lays down his gun and his sin for the "guy who died on the tree up there". What an awesome, creative, freeing God we serve that lets us use our own creativity to bring people to Him. Hope those guys next week can run fast, cause God is a pretty good shot. Go Jesus!
