" WITNESSING "

Welcome aboard, this weeks subject matter is a very important one for us to wrap our minds around " Witnessing ". If we are wise enough to listen, the Holy Spirit increases opportunities to witness to a lost soul. Now I for one value the life and times of the Apostle Paul. Now Paul used his times of persecution as an opportunity for him to Witness. Even his enemies were creating a platform for him to address the entire Jewish Council. If we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit's leading, we will see increased opportunities to share our faith, even in the face of opposition. Please understand and take this to the bank, that we have been commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ to tell others about Jesus. We are to go - whether it is next door or to another country - and make disciples. It is not an option, but a command to all who call Jesus " LORD. " We are not all evangelists in the formal sense, but we have all received gifts that we can use to help fulfill the Great Commission. As we obey, we have comfort in the knowledge that Jesus is always with us. Sometimes Christians excuse themselves from Witnessing by saying that their family or friends aren't ready to believe. Jesus, however, makes it clear that around us a continual harvest waits to be reaped. Don't let Jesus find you making excuses. Look around you will find people ready to hear God's Word. Until Next Time... Jim,
