Let's Make Some Noise

As I was outside watering the grass last night, I had a conversation with a neighbor that like I never thought I would have. While we visited the man told me of not being "relegious" and not "being active in a church." He was so open and transparent with me about his life and continuously asked me not to "be offended" because he didnt go to church, or because he shared a thought that he thought I may dislike. After an hour I began to share Christ with this guy who had been raised by his mother in the church. Everything I spoke of about the Word of God and our relationship with Christ, this man agreed with. As we continued on I seen hurt in his eyes. Come to find out his wife and her family are Jehovas Witness and because he doesnt agree with "there ways" he to has agreed not to speak of "his beliefs" around them so to keep the peace around the house. I felt very sad for this man as he teared up. At 36 this man has chosen to keep peace in the house instead of having peace in his heart.
We have to realize that we will never experience peace in our house until we have peace amongst ourselves. God desires us to welcome His presence within our households,not going without speaking His name. We are His children, whom He chose to glorify him. We cannot chose when we want to share Christ, we have to do it consistantly. I pray that you will join me in praying for this man as well as ourselves about not "hiding" from opportunity to share God's Word.Pray for his wife, for her eyes to be opened to the One True Gospel. Now is the time to share! We can read all the self help books on how to share the Good News all day long, or we can just go out and do it. Now is the time!!!!

A Thought for Today

How often do we miss out on opportunities to witness to people? We pray all the time for God to send us someone to share His word with, yet when we are approached we never catch on. An hour later we realize what happened.Why do we do this? I want people's opinion. Please share with me. There are no excuses, but people are so quick to judge those who do not walk with Christ. What makes us any different when we don't do what we are called to do, that is sharing Christ?









We should not ask, "What is wrong with the world?" for that diagnosis has already been given. Rather, we should ask, "What has happened to the salt and light?" John R. W. Stott
