Well, encase you have been wondering where the Weekly Wisdom’s that I have been posting are at, they have been over at The Hardcore Christian.

If you have missed them in the past, you can view them all here that I have posted.

Adhering to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20 – Jesus’ decree to ALL of his disciples to go and preach the gospel to the world) is something that is sadly lacking in the life of many Christians today.  We go to church, sing the songs, listen to Christian music and (hopefully) study God’s word.  But how often do we adhere to this command that Christ has given us?  I am guilty of not witnessing as much as I could for sure, so please don’t look to me as the example.  How many of you out there feel like you are guilty of this as well?

It’s 9:00 in the evening. Jesus and his twelve closest friends walk through the door of their hostel fatigued and drenched from the rain, yet content. They feel happy to have spread the word of God to so many people today but their minds still stray to the pain, sick, and evil that they have witnessed. They talk quietly among themselves as they make their way down the long corridor that leads to the rec room. They breathe a simultaneous sigh of relief as they round the corner and realize there are only a few other residents in the room; they sit down comfortably along the large sectional sofa that faces the entertainment center.

Jesus picks up the remote and begins flicking through the channels: a news station highlights war and famine in third world countries; a drama makes light of the main characters’ adulterous affairs; a comedy finds it necessary to curse and make vulgar suggestions in every line of dialogue in order to provoke laughs. With a grimace, He sets it back down. Was there no way for He and His friends to enjoy a laid back evening together without being bombarded with all the issues that they had dealt with all day? Just as the group prepares to separate for the night – some may read, others may play cards, and still others may head downstairs to the small gym – Jesus spots a video game console tucked beside the television.
