Adam Sandler Night...

So I was on my home tonight and call my wife to let her know I was on my way to which her reply was a most outstanding, "YIPPEE!" and she added a, "Oh I'll wait for you to get here before I start watching Happy Gilmore!"  Oh that sweet sweet wife of mine how I love her so much!  Well we are about off to bed to which we will fall asleep to BIG DADDY!  I know I know that Adam Sandler isn't the most wholesome actor nor director/ writer, but I must admit he sure makes me laugh.
I recently watched the movie Funny People, and I must tell you I had a deep place in my heart for the characters in that movie.  Yes, I know there was some not so family values or family viewing in the movie, but what a complete eye opener to the mind of someone without Christ.  I was watching this movie and realized that I wasn't watching a movie for the complete entertainment of the movie, but I was watching a movie and being taught an important lesson on the sanctity of life in Christ.  Her is a story of a man who makes a living making people laugh and basically living at the expense of other faults and finds out he is dying of cancer.  Now of course the movie progresses and he is taking an experimental drug that possible can cure him, and eventually it does.  When he is cured he has no one to share this joy with.  I find it parallels the Church in more ways than I can count...  We get a person into the church by sheer entertainment value.... Offer a great time and show them how much we appreciate them showing up and participating....  We make home visits and extend all the love we can muster with words like, "You blessed us with your presence", or "We would love to have you back again", or "You sure have a lot to offer", and "We care!"...  We show them Jesus!  The accept Him as their Savior!  PRAISE GOD!!!!!  Then we head off to find e our next project and leave them behind because we did our job and show them the way and they accepted.  We get that Funny People mentality and get our kicks off the who whole I am holier than thou let me show you Jesus and once you accept them see ya sucker attitude.
I wonder how many people we introduced to Jesus that we left hangin.?  I think of Paul and his relationship with Timothy and how we was more or less with him until his death from... Hanging out... Talking to him.... Writing him letters...  Imparting as much of himself into him...  

 I wonder how different the church would be if did these things.....

Thanks Adam Sandler for your inspiration....!
