Make Witnessing A Big Deal

Hey guys, I decided to go to get some food a few minutes ago at Subway and brought in some Million dollar bill tracts. The lady working was really focused on the work so I figured its not a great time to try and talk to her. But as I was being checked out, she looked across the room and said, "I have a thousand dollar question to ask you" to which I said, "Oh really, what is it?" and she said she was talking to her friend across the room.....I then said, well...I have a million dollar question to ask you and gave her a tract. I said, where will you go when you die and she said, "Hey, someone gave me one of these at school". She said she went to a college around here and someone passes out tracts! I said, well just take a minute to read over it...it explains how to be sure. So anyway, I walked out with my sandwich...or so I thought...this guy came walking out to my car as I was leaving and it was the guy behind me in line....he said, thats my sandwich, she gave you the wrong one and brought mine out to me. I gave him a tract and we talked right there with our sandwiches. He said he knows what he needs to do to be made right with God and he just hasn't done it yet. His wife and kids go to church down here, but he stopped going. He said he didn't think it was sin, but just could live better. I went through the 10 Commandments and explained his need for the Savior and he actually teared up a little bit, but held it in tight and didn't really express it. He said someone just sent him an email and get this...the email talked about us being in a courtroom and God being the judge....but it was different because he said satan was the prosecuter and Jesus was our defendant and Satan said, "he deserves to go to Hell" while Jesus said, "He has asked forgiveness of me for his sins" and God let the man go. I explained how God is just and MUST judge sin because He hates it and that Jesus paid our fine on the cross...not because it was fun, because He loved us and wanted to make us right with God. I explained true repentance and it was a great conversation. But as I left, I was convicted of something. God told me, why did you try and hide the fact that you were sharing Christ with the worker at Subway and only wanted her to know? He said, I sent that man out to you because I knew you would share with him then....but why didn't you in the store? I said that I didn't want to standout in front of those people as some religious nut even though it would be the right thing to do, to which God replied, you have sinned against me and this is just as guilty as murder. If you deny Me before men, I will deny you before My Father in Heaven, from Matt. 10:32-33. I realized that we should strive to make it obvious around everyone that we are witnessing and it will make others think and could cause more people to hear the Gospel. Anyway, yall pray for the woman at Subway and Bruce, the guy who gave me my sub....thanks guys, see ya.

Giving it up and Just Meeting God

I was about to go to bed the other night when Doug told me he wanted to just chill with me and talk about what God is up to. I had been running around like a chicken with my head cut off all day and was acting as though God would waste some of my time. I have now come to the conclusion that God deserves my time...even if it means me only getting about 4 hrs of sleep, like I did last night. I think this is gonna teach me to discipline myself about all the stuff I go to and do with other people so that I can sit and just chill with God for a while each day. I don't like the term "quiet time" because its just so lame sounding....I prefer Chill Time. I think if God were to use up to date lingo, he would call it chill time. I mean, why can't we just be still and know that He is God. I also think this will strengthen my love for Him and for others. If I really put the day into perspective BEFORE it starts, I know that things will go smoother with God on His rightful...

6 Ways to Stay Humble

An old country song goes like this: “Lord, it’s hard to be humble, when you’re perfect in every way.” Most of us would not put it so bluntly, but we all find it hard to be humble. The problem with us is that we forget who we are in the grand scheme of things. We must remember that we are but dust created in the image of God and made to display His worth. One particular passage of Scripture is thoroughly helpful in turning our eyes off our own navels and onto God’s glory: Philippians 2:5-11. By meditating on the gospel in this text, even the most prideful among us will be leveled low. To stay in a humbled position... 1. Feast your eyes on the matchless glory of Christ (vv. 5-6) “ Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped …” Paul ascends to breathe the air of Mount Everest in this ancient hymn of the church. He speaks of Jesus’ divinity and equal status as God ...

Use Your Gift!

The past few weeks, I have not been using the gift that God has given to me. Ever since my freshmen year of college God has revealed to me that He has given me the gift of boldness in evangelism. I know that evangelism is not a gift, but a command so that is why I see that boldness in it is what He has blessed me with. As I purposed to use my gift in the beginning of college to the glory of God, many people were raised from the dead and brought into Spiritual life and many blind eyes have been opened. The more I practiced evangelism, the more I saw my knowledge of it and passion for it grow. This summer, God told me to try out this youth internship at a church to see if it is really what He wants for me to pursue because I love youth ministry as well....or did. This has been an amazing summer and I love it, but God showed me that this is not for me at all. I have a burning passion, a pumping heart, an all out raw desire to tell people straight up the Gospel. So, because of m...
