- See the need where you live. We have allowed ourselves to become more active outside our neighborhood than in them.
- Accept full responsibility for the spiritual and physical well being of yourself and your neighborhood.
- Be inspired or desperate enough to create habits of action. Good intentions pave the way to inaction. It allows us to feel good for doing little or nothing at all.
- Open your door and step out. Most evenings we close our doors to the same people we say we care about.
- Open your door and let people in.
- Food ! Food ! Food ! Nothing brings people together better than food.
- Listen much, act much, talk little.
- Connect the “believers” in your neighborhood. Look for other Christians, connect with them, love them and work together. Start with a potluck gathering.
- Seek to love your neighbor. Show them Jesus. Be real, It will allow us to live the life we were meant to live on an everyday basis.
- Start a Neighborhood Life Group utilizing free resources which are made available through places like www.simplechurch.tv or LifeChurch.tv. It’s really easy and they really work.
Remember this important point! Never forget it. Spiritual transformation takes place in the mess of our lives and those of others. Let us refrain from living the lukewarm Christian life where there is little substance. Your neighbors lives depend on it.
Love God, love each other, and love your neighbor. Its that simple
