Tell the World!

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. -Mark 16:15-16

This is one area I am not the best at, I am not horrible at witnessing (when I use God as my co-pilot), but many times I let fear enter me and chicken out. It seems now that I am out of the Navy, all my friends are Christians and I have fallen into a comfortable place where I do not have the need to tell others about Jesus.

I need to follow the model Jesus set for me and hang out with the non-saved. I need to follow the model Jesus set for me and be courageous and tell people the Gospel or “Good News”. I need to follow the model Jesus set for me and deliver the message with a kind heart and at times just meeting the physical needs of others.

But I need to do something besides sit on the sidelines. At the end of my life I do not want to sit and wonder why I didn't talk to someone about Jesus and save their life, the life that is important, the everlasting life, not this temporary one.

This is my prayer for myself and you all. “Lord I beg of you to make right all the missed opportunities to spread your word. I pray that you will set up encounters for me to share and I pray that you give me the right words that will feed your flock. In Jesus name I pray these things, Amen”
