How often do you share your faith? Are you shy or are you bold? Often times people will say they are too scared to tell someone about their Lord for fear of mockery or rejection. Having been in sales most of my life, I understand that notion. But the Lord is not a sales product or even an option someone "may want to know about". He is the way, the truth and the life. John 14:6 He is not a multiple choice answer in a question of who is your God for He is the one true God. John 17:3 And the truth is there are several ways you can share your faith. When at the check out counter instead of saying thank you or have a nice day, respond with "be blessed" and/or "have a blessed day". One of the sisters in church always answers the question "how are you?" with "blessed and highly favored". Seeds sown. I use Christian checks and Christian address labels. I print a blog label on all my packages I send out through my business in hopes the receiver will look up the messages and also the postmasters and workers. Seeds sown. My home has biblical sayings and verses throughout to help minister to my guests. How about waving a flag or sign outside your home instead of the local sports team? See how easy it is? Seeds sown. You can purchase bibles at the dollar store and hand those out or even small gospel of Johns that are less than a dollar. Even church invites can be effective and they are free and can be given to waitresses and gas station attendants. I love my Jesus auto emblem and bumper stickers on cars. Truly there is no excuse. Even social networking can make the most sheepish roar like a lion. Understand that by you sharing your God with someone who does not know of Him, may save their life. The seeds you sew in their life may grow and prosper in to a wonderful harvest. The word of the Lord does not return void. Isaiah 55:11 Be bold and be creative and you will become a laborer for Christ. And no matter what your spiritual maturity level is, you have something to offer. We may not know all the bible verses by heart, but our discovery of God is all we need to share. Discipleship is the most rewarding thing you will ever do.
Matthew 28: 18-20
1 Peter 3:15
