how much do we really know?

I was sitting on my couch watching TBN and there was a movie playing called Lord Save Us (the movie).  I was realizing how sad it really is to the fact that most Christians barely know about those around them.  There had a been a short game show in this movie.  They had nonbelievers on one side and believers on another.  The nonbelievers beat the believers by a good 300 points.  How sad is this?  We know more about ourselves (and that isn't much either) compared to what we know about those around us.  Those nonbelievers know more about us than we know about them.  And what they know about us is generally negative.  So many of us want to reach those around us so bad that we shove the Word and Bible down the throats of those around them and we have no clue who THEY are.  Jesus worked His ministry to know those He ministered to.  He ate with them, hung with them, sat with them, worked with them.  He was showing who His Father was through getting to know them and caring about their needs instead of His own.  I wish I could say that I do this but this is far from the truth.  Though, I am learning and headed in this direction.  I think it's sad that nonbelievers know more about us than we do them and they STILL do not want a part of it.  We are supposed to be a reflection of who Christ is in our lives and if those around us do not want to be apart of that then there is a huge problem. 

I just sat here being convicted to write about this and notify those out there that do read this that there is a huge problem with Christianity if we are PUSHING people away instead of making them feel welcomed into the Body of Christ.  I pray that I can work on this starting now and I pray that our nation and world will feel the same conviction and pray to allow God to work in their lives as well as those around them.
