Leverage Relationships

Studies show that 85% of all Christians sever relationships with outsiders after a year and a half. Somehow, we have bought into the lie that to follow Jesus, we have to sever relationships. But nowhere in the Bible does it say for us to sever relationships with those who need God. As Christians, many times it’s easier to sever relationships with people from our past. Investing in relationships with those outside the faith is messy and difficult. But God never calls us to ease and comfort, and Jesus is always drawn towards the messes.
With more people open and searching spiritually, are we
willing to invest in other people's lives by spending time with them and start to dialogue with them about God? Are we willing to invest in someone's life and invite them to meet Jesus Christ?
