How do you share your faith?
I must admit that I can look back over the last several years and see that I have not been “telling the world the good news”. I have been living my busy life, serving the Lord in other ways, but not answering the call of Jesus in Matthew 28:19, 20…
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
It’s really convicting me lately. I can remember a time in my life, shortly after being born again, where I was shameless and bold! I would go to the mall with my best friend and we would pray over the crowd and select individuals that we felt the Lord was guiding us to talk to. It was intense! And it paid off! I remember sharing the gospel with a co-worker with such unashamed abandon that she grabbed on and never let go. She is a sister-in-Christ now and I cherish that memory and knowledge.
So I find myself looking in the mirror this morning. I’m asking myself the tough questions. Why have I stopped? Where is my faith? What is driving my daily decisions?
In that spirit I am starting a new weekly blog, “Tell The World Tuesday”. When is the last time you shared your faith? How did it happen? What did you say? I would love to hear your stories! Along with being grounded in the Word of God, I believe this could be a great way to build one another up and help equip each other with the courage, and creativeness to “Go and make disciples of all nations…”!
In His Grip!

This is a great idea Wayne! I must admit I am also guilty of becoming so busy with serving Him, that it can become easy to forget to tell the world! When you are church staff basically everything you do throughout the day is for the furthering of His kingdom, but we can’t get so caught up in the day to day that we forget to fulfill the great commision. Thanks for the reminder!
