The 4x4 Challenge

By Ryan, February 23, 2007

I hate sitting down with nothing to do. I hate it to the point that, after I arrive in class, I always set my stuff down and just roam the halls until right before the bell rings. Today I did this right before German class. When I got back to the classroom, I found one of my classmates flipping through my Bible. One of the story titles that caught his attention was “The Rape of Tamar” (in 2 Samuel 13). His eyes got all big and wide as he attempted to comprehend the fact that the Bible actually contains stories of rape.

That’s when I realized that I wasn’t dealing with a church-goer. I could have easily figured it out, but now I see that he really needs a Christian influence and a good church. The good thing is that he isn’t too far gone... if you know what I mean. This just spells out O-P-P-O-R-T-U-N-I-T-Y.

In church, we’ve been taking what we’re calling the “4x4 Challenge...” where we identify four people that don’t go to church and invite them to our church. The challenge was intended for the adults, but I seriously doubt God will have any objection to high schoolers bringing friends. Heh. “Hey, God, can I bring some people to you?” “Noooo... you brought me some last week.” Yeah, that would happen.

I know that the 4x4 Challenge is a Preston Ridge Baptist Church thing, but it is obviously okay for all people and all churches. So right here I will officially challenge every single one of my readers to bring at least one person to a church within the next month. Ready, set, go!

Um, right after you get off this website, you can go...

Or, on, like, Sunday... whichever works, just do it.
