A time when a polite ultimatum is given, generally followed by a less polite ultimatum, then a threat.
The definition of a “Come to Jesus Meeting” on the net is pretty much what is described above. A get-together between two or more people where a very candid, and somewhat harsh discussion will take place. The discussion is most often pointed towards one specific person, no matter how many people are firing at talking to the individual.
Before today, I had never heard of a “Come to Jesus Meeting”. I quickly did some searching on the Interwebs and found that this term is used commonly when harsh conversations are to be had. It appears that “Come to Jesus Meetings” are most often had when an intervention is taking place. Basically, quit this and that or you’ll be out on your arse!
Well, I am going to be involved in a “Come to Jesus Meeting” today and I am looking forward to it! When else can one sit down and receive so much truth from one or more person than in a “Come to Jesus Meeting”? I have made so many strides in the past year and a half since my separation from my wife, but I still have so far to go in many areas… This is obvious!
I have a lot of things I still need to deal with. So many things I need to let go of. So many things I need to accept. And, so many things I need to incorporate into my daily walk… So, what’s a little encouragement from someone you care about and trust? Sometimes you need to hear the truth from someone so close so you can see what others perceive is going on and hopefully obtain some advice in the process… I would like to think that on the other side of a “Come to Jesus Meeting”, a lot of positive change will take place in hopefully a short period of time. I’d like to think…
Anyway, this post if for all 1.78 of my readers who have never heard of a “Come to Jesus Meeting” like me. I don’t want you to be summoned to one and be thinking it is an opportunity for true salvation. However, if positive changes result from a “Come to Jesus Meeting”, then I guess you do get salvation in certain areas of your life and the positive mindset that follows is kind of like a revival… Let’s hope!
Until next time…

I’m glad you shared this. I had never heard of this in relation to the net either.
I hope your “Come to Jesus” meeting is as productive as you hope!

Well, and not to rain negativity down on something that will have a positive outcome, but this is not related to the Internet. If my post came across like that, then I miscommunicated my purpose of this post… Which is very possible!

I had heard of a “Come to Jesus” meeting before. I thought you were talking about having one via the ‘net somehow! Sorry I misunderstood.
Anyway, I hope the meeting was productive!
