Little Eyes Are Watching You
Due to a few mother’s day family events that took us away for nearly the entire weekend, I was unable to attend this month’s Second Saturday. But it wasn’t like it was the furthest thing from my mind.
On Sunday at my mom’s church, Pastor Frank Kohler, lead pastor at Lake Echo Fellowship Baptist Church, spoke on the subject, Little Eyes Are Watching You. And something he said was sooo Second Saturday.
Frank said, We miss a huge lesson of Jesus if we think we’re going to impact many people – for Christ – on Sunday morning between ten-thirty and twelve o’clock. And then later, We need to realize that our lives, to be impactful for Christ – are lived out there. By “out there” he meant, outside the church; out in the community.
He went on to say it’s how we interact with others; it’s how they see us in our daily lives that’s going to speak to them of whether or not they’re going to be interested in what you practice by faith.
And that’s what Second Saturday is all about. It’s not about being pastors or preachers – for the majority of us, that’s not our job. It’s about making a connection with people. It’s about building relationships with people. It’s about the hope that we are out there doing what we do naturally, and out of obedience, and realizing little eyes – and big, grown-up eyes – are watching us, to see if we are living what we believe.
So let’s get out there and live every moment we are outside the building we call church as if it’s Second Saturday, and remember, those little eyes are watching us.
