Lately I've been re-evaluating a lot of things in my Christian walk and I've had to ask myself, do I do this? Do I deny Christ before men? Maybe not outright, but how many times do I hold my tongue because I don't want to "offend" someone, when I have the truth to offer them. I fear I've become so busy "doing" God's work that I've missed the true work that He's called all of us to, spreading the Gospel. Jesus said,
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen." Matt 28:19-20
I'm accepting the challenge to share my faith. What about you?
Yes, I've felt this way too. It reminds me to make sure I'm busy about my Father's business. What does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, but to lose his soul (Matthew 16:26)? Do I want to keep my faith to myself, just to gain the world's approval and friendship. If I do that, then I lose my soul and what I was created for- to bring Him glory and to be His witness. Thanks for this encouraging word.
