If you went to a fantastic movie this weekend would you let anyone know at work or school Monday? If you got engaged to be married would you share the news? Some people wonder why it is that us "Christians" can't stop talking about "religion" all the time. They some how incorrectly ascribe a false agenda to us. As if Christians have some strategy to "insert" Jesus' name into any random conversation for no rhyme or reason, only to guilt trip or judge them? They just can't understand that Jesus comes up so often in our conversations because Jesus is all-consuming to us... because we are in love with Him, and are so blessed by how He has rescued us and saved us! It never seizes to amaze me how apt a person is to want to soak up a wise crack, a random "weather" forecast, a dirty joke, a cigarette, or a free drink from a stranger. Yet, when it comes to Jesus... (even from a family member or friend) they are so resistant! " I'm not religious" they might say, or they may just walk away. Friend, may we always be full of His Spirit so He can shine through us and help us be bold and courageous in sharing the "good news" of the Gospel of Jesus! Remember there is a driving force working in opposition to the Spirit of God in us that desires to keep these poor souls in the dark and in shackles. Consider this, if we were in a safe shelter awaiting a tornado and saw a stranger walking outside in eminent danger what would we do? I hope we would open up and invite them in...to spare their life! Don't lose heart friend...keep sharing the fruit of a life changing "relationship" with Jesus while there is still time. Remember God loves them even more than we do.
Philemon 1:6 I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. – Thanks for letting me share, Randy Young
