God Doesn't Call Netflix Christians:
I was hauling garbage at 4 AM when God showed me why He passes some people by. It wasn't pretty, but neither is truth.
Let me be blunt: Jesus never called a lazy man.
The Pattern That'll Shake Your Theology
Look at who Jesus called:
- Peter and Andrew? Throwing nets when He found them
- Matthew? Working his tax booth
- Paul? Zealously persecuting Christians (wrong direction, but man was he working)
Notice something? Every single one was DOING something when the Master found them.
The Hard Truth Nobody's Preaching
Here's what the comfortable church won't tell you: Jesus isn't scanning the couches for His next disciple.
Think I'm being harsh? Let's look at what Scripture shows us:
"And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers." - Matthew 4:18 KJV
They weren't "finding themselves." They weren't "waiting for their calling."
They were working.
Why God Passes Some People By
Listen close, because this might sting:
God's hand isn't shortened that He cannot save. His training program isn't full. His power isn't limited.
The problem? It's us.
Some folks want the crown without the cross. The calling without the commitment. The platform without the preparation.
Raw Truth From a Garbage Man's Heart
Every morning at 4 AM, when I'm lifting those bins, I'm reminded: God's looking for people who are already moving.
He's not looking for:
- Professional conference attendees
- Prophecy collectors
- Spiritual tourists
He's looking for workers. Doers. People with spiritual calluses on their hands.
The Selection Process You Never Knew About
Here's what my pastor revealed that shook me:
God immediately identifies who He can work with and who He can't. Not because He's limited, but because He's wise.
Think about it:
- Some have the makeup for discipleship
- Others are in infant stage but show potential
- And some? He won't even call because He sees it's not there
Your Wake-Up Call
Stop waiting for a burning bush while you're binge-watching Netflix.
Stop praying for a ministry while your Bible collects dust.
Stop asking for a calling while you're calling in sick to life.
The Question That Changes Everything
What are you doing RIGHT NOW that shows God you're ready for more?
Not what you plan to do.
Not what you want to do.
What are you DOING?
Because here's the brutal truth: Jesus is still walking by seas, still looking for disciples, still calling workers into His harvest.
But He's passing by the lazy.
And maybe - just maybe - that's why He's passed by you.
