Open Invitations
There is an old joke that says, "A vegan, an atheist, and a cross-fitter walk into a bar... and thirty seconds later everybody knows it." The joke is that when people discover the "truth" about life, as they see it (that life is better fully respecting animals, or being fully free from religion, or fully embracing a lifestyle of fitness) they can't help but talk about it, all the time, with everybody who will listen. The Bible says Jesus came to give us a truly "abundant life." So, how much does that life bubble over into our relationships and conversations with others? What would happen if our lives were open invitations to our friends to consider the beauty of a life with Jesus?
