Jesus challenges us, no, commands us, to share the Gospel with others. But most of us (myself for sure) finds this one of the most difficult parts of our walk of faith. Yesterday during the sermon our minister used a short video clip to demonstrate how important this task is. It shows Penn Jillette (from Penn & Teller) describing why he respects Christians who want to tell others about Heaven and Hell - and Penn is an atheist. He asks "how much do you have to hate someone not to tell them?" Ouch. You can find the clip here.
Let us pray that we will be given opportunities today to share the Gospel, and the courage to take those opportunities.
Amazing grace and eternal peace to you,
Bruce
Father, we are a chosen generation, a royal people who have been called out of darkness into Your marvelous light.
Through the power of Your Holy Spirit we go forth and shine Your light through our works, our attitudes, our holy lives, and by our verbal witness.
May we bring You glory as others see Your light shining through us.
And we pray that others will come to Christ through our witness.
It is in His name that we pray. Amen.
