DO YOU CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN? IS IT A NAME YOU WEAR WITH PRIDE? DO YOU BOLDLY SPEAK FOR HIM? OR FIND IT EASIER TO HIDE? WHEN SOMEONE ASKS A QUESTION ABOUT SALVATION OR THE CROSS DO YOU JUMP IN WITH AN ANSWER? OR JUST STAND THERE AT A LOSS? DO YOU USUALLY KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT TO STAY SAFE FROM RIDICULE? EVEN THOUGH YOU KNOW THAT SILENCE IS THE DEVIL'S FAVORITE TOOL? JESUS CAME TO EARTH AND SUFFERED HE DIED TO PAY A DEBT YOU OWE! IS THAT HOW YOU SHOW YOUR GRATITUDE BY MAKING SURE YOUR FAITH WON'T SHOW? I'M NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD RACE AROUND WAVING BIBLES EVERY DAY... BUT WHO WE STAND FOR SHOULD BE EVIDENT BY THE THINGS WE DO AND SAY!! EVERYONE WHO’S AROUND US? SHOULD KNOW FOR SIMPLE FACT THAT WE ARE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS BY HOW WE LIVE AND SPEAK AND ACT! IF WE'RE JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS OF OUR LIVES THE WHOLE DAY LONG? AND NO ONE HAS A CLUE WE'RE CHRISTIANS ? WE'RE DOING SOMETHING VERY WRONG!! "WITNESS" IS NOT JUST A WORD! IT SHOULD BE THE WAY WE LIVE! NEVER MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROCLAIM, EXPLAIN, FORGIVE!! AND DON’T THINK YOU DON'T KNOW ENOUGH OR HAVE THE WORDS TO SHARE... IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SPEAK FOR HIM? THEN TRUST ME....HE'LL BE THERE!! SO DON'T HESITATE A SECOND WHEN SOMEONE ASKS WHAT YOU BELIEVE... SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY... PUT YOUR FAITH OUT ON YOUR SLEEVE! SHOW HIM YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR HIS SACRIFICE AND HIS DEATH SPREAD HIS MESSAGE AND HIS NAME WITH EVERY SINGLE BREATH!! IF HEAVEN'S WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AFTER A LIFE OF PAIN AND LOSS? THE ONLY LADDER YOU'LL EVER FIND THAT'S HIGH ENOUGH IS THE CROSS!! DUSTY SEPT 2008 |
