Eph. 6:19,20 "and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the myestery of the gospel; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak." Maggie
im excited about this but not feeling good at all, im thinking if i dont go out today of emailing or calling an old friend i havent talked to in quite a while to share the gospel with, and just open the door wide open. i figure i may not see anyone today but i can make contact with someone and still share the gospel. pray that ill be bold and follow through. great posts so encouraging. so maggie how did your sharing oppurtunities at the wedding go?
I SHARED THE GOSPEL WITH GRACE THIS MORNING. I OPENED WITH HER NAME. WE TALKED ABOUT HER NAME AND I TOLD HER HOW HER NAME IS A KEY WORD IN THE BIBLE. SHE AGREED. IT WAS NEAT BECAUSE THEN I WENT TO EPHESIANS CH. 2 WITH HER AND SPOKE OF VERSES 5,8,9. WE HAD A GREAT TALK ABOUT THE GOSPEL. PRAISE HIM FOR HIS WORD! MAGS
I had a brief gospel encounter with a waitress (I will call her "A") at a Mexican restaurant today at noon. I asked her a few things about herself and then asked her if she considered herself to be a "Christ-follower" and if so, why. I then shared the gospel with her and pressed upon her how essential it was to trust in Jesus Christ alone and express the reality of that simple faith in a continual repentance for her sin and a confidence found by resting in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ from the grave. She shared that she had come to trust in Jesus when she was 11 or 12 and understood and agreed with what I was saying.
I had time on my plane ride back from Houston to share the Gospel. This person I spoke to shared with me about his struggles at work and how frustrating it was. I encouraged him to look beyond his circumstances and to discover that true joy comes from knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and that trusting in His perfect obedience and perfect sacrifice will give him ultimate joy; the kind of joy that transcends his circumstances because this joy is rooted in eternal truth that cannot and will not fail him.
