Time for the church to mobilize

Every believer and every church is to be mobilized. That is, to be in a state of readiness.

In the natural, when there is a threat of war, our troops are mobilized. When there is a natural disaster, our rescue and emergency services are mobilized. They are in a state of readiness to battle whatever confronts them. When the threat or danger passes we say these forces are "stood down". The trouble with many Christians and churches is that they lives in a "stand down" mode rather than in a "mobilized" mode.

A mobilized position does not mean that every minute of every day we are on the front line fighting. Any person doing that  would soon become exhausted. No, to be mobilized is to be ready and prepared to seize the opportunities that present themselves. It is to be the light and salt that Jesus wants us to be. This lines up with Peter when he says that we are "always to be prepared (mobilized) to give an answer to those who ask you..."

How mobilized are you?
