Holy Discontent

I have been worshipping at The Well Community Church for the last 9 months, approximately, and the last few weeks they have been teaching from Nehamiah and have been discussing, "what is your holy discontent". Initially, I didn't think I had anything that was stirring inside of me so much that I wanted to do something about it to change what was going on, but a few days it came to me. Here is what I consider to be my holy discontent:

I've been noticing in the last few weeks through facebook status updates and other ways that so many people go to church, but no one ever really talks about it. I had a friend post on her facebook the other day "church, check. now off to do some house hunting" and with that post, so many people responded with surprise and questions because it seemed as though it was such a shock that she would even consider going to church. Also, because of her post, many people opened up and said, what church they go to and that they would love to have my friend join them during their worship services.

I can't claim that I have been innocent in this area of life. I, too, am not always so "proud" to discuss my Sunday plans when people ask what I've been up to that day. It's disturbing, though. Its definitely not something to be ashamed of. Growing up in an area where almost everyone that I was surrounded with either went to my church or at least went to church; it was like we didn't have to talk about it, because we all just assumed where each one of us was going on Sunday morning. However, that is no excuse to not talk about it now.

I feel like that at this age this is the time we should be talking about church, Christ and all that each has to offer. Why be quiet about it? Why hide it? Aren't we as Christians called to share the Gospel so that ALL men might believe? I want to be like the woman at the well that was so excited about her new faith that she caused others to believe. I just don't know how to move forward with these thoughts and get others to be comfortable to talking about their church plans and their faith. No matter what your age or stage of your faith walk, it is important to talk about it! How do we make that happen?
