Your Invited.....

Before I began my walk with Christ, people would try to get me to go to church and pray for me to "get saved". Though I appreciate and love them for their efforts, their approach just wasn't very inviting.  One of my pastors, Pastor Robert Roman posted this on FB.  It touched me and I wanted to share it with you.  This is one of the best invitations I've ever received.  Thank you Pastor Roman for allowing me to share this....

Philip was from the town of Bethsaida, the same as Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael & told him, "Remember what Moses wrote in the law. Moses wrote about a man that was coming. The prophets wrote about him too. We have found him.His name is Jesus, the son of Joseph. He is from Nazareth." But Nathanael said to Philip, "Nazareth! Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip answered, "Come and see."

Come and see for yourself!" What Christianity has to offer the world
that no other religion really has is two-fold: 1) a genuine
relationship with Jesus, God who walked among us; and, 2) grace that
makes us acceptable to God rather than having to earn divine approval.
If you really want to decide about Christianity, or you have a friend
that is wrestling with a similar decision, don't let them get lost in
all the religious debate. Instead, invite them to come and meet Jesus
in the Gospel of John. The invitation to "come and see" is repeated
several times in John 1. Meeting Jesus in John won't answer all the
questions, but it will point us to the only true answer -- Jesus! So if
you're doubting, if you're frustrated with the mess that organized
religion sometimes makes, if you want to get past the religious hype
into the life of God, then heed the invitation Jesus and his disciples
give you to "come and see" who Jesus really is. Begin your own search.
Find out for yourself. Seek and you will find! (What Jesus did)
