SHARING YOUR FAITH
Excitement in worship.
If we are really excited to worship God and we are willing to express it
in church, how come we don’t express it outside of church. If you are really that excited about
something it should show everywhere.
I am so sick and tired of seeing myself kowtow to everyone
and everything, being afraid to answer questions directly. I don’t consider myself P.C. (politically
correct), but subtly I can see compromises, however slight that I have made. Of all people we have the most reasons to
celebrate.
If you had the cure for cancer and didn’t share It, you
would be considered selfish, greedy, and mean-spirited. However, if you share
your faith or your personal testimony, your friends think you are pushing or
forcing your faith on them.
Yet we have the cure for hopelessness--- so we should not be
embarrassed or afraid to share that with anyone. One thing I learned in Namibia was that the
people are the same everywhere, just in Namibia and other poverty-stricken
countries, they are hungry for hope, open to hearing about God and are not
afraid to say so, they come running if you want to share with them, they are
open.
“As the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after
thee. You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship thee.” Psalm 42:1
They are not concerned about what others think, their
reputations, their job, or if they are liked.
They want the water that quenches their thirst.
