Are You Ready To Be a World Changer? - Are you ready to be a world changer? Are you ready to turn our world upside down for Jesus Christ? If so, pay attention by discovering a key ingredient that will enable you to complete the task Christ has given you. Another key ingredient in being a world changer is INVOLVEMENT. We see that the early Christians were willing to get involved. A number or years ago when the exploits of Albert Schweitzer in Africa were receiving world-wide publicity, & when Jack Parr reigned on late night TV, Parr made a statement which captures the spirit of our age. - He told his TV audience, "I'd like to be an Albert Schweitzer, if I could commute." A lot of Christians have that same attitude. "I'd like to be a force in the kingdom of God if I just had enough time." - "I wish our church could be more evangelistic, but I'm not able to witness." - I'm afraid there are a lot of things that we would like to see happen in our church and in our world that are not going to happen unless we all get personally involved. - There are too many armchair quarterbacks and backseat drivers in the church of Christ today.

Everybody knows what everybody else ought to be doing but they're not doing anything themselves. We need people to be involved in our church. There was once a man who always seemed to bring home a boatload of fish. -The game warden heard of this man's great success & asked to go w/him. - The two men started early one morning & went across the lake to a secluded area. - The warden noticed that the man didn't have a fishing pole, just a net & a rusty old tackle box. - When they stopped the boat the fisherman opened up the box & pulled out a stick of dynamite--lit it--& tossed it into the water. - It blew up & the fish rose to the surface. - The fisherman began dipping his net into the water & putting the fish in the boat. - The warden then reached back & revealed from his hip pocket the credentials of a game warden! - Calmly, the fisherman opened the tackle box again, got out another stick of dynamite, lit the fuse & handed it to the game warden. - Then, as the fuse burned down, the fisherman asked, "Are you going to sit there or are you just going to fish?"

That is the question of the hour. We have the most powerful force in the universe. The message of a resurrected Savior--are we going to fish or just sit? - - I hope you are ready for God because I know He's ready for you.
