Do we as Christians deny our Lord by keeping our mouths shut instead of witnessing like the Bible commands? We talk about everything else but when it comes to telling someone about the Lord we don’t. Why is it that a group of Christians will be happy to go for hours to fellowship but will not take 3 or 4 hours a week, a month or even a year to witness? It is time we stop being ashamed and be like Paul who wrote the book of Romans in the New Testament. Are we silent because we are ashamed?
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Judas betrayed Jesus, Peter denied Him and the rest of the disciples an away. Jesus understands the hurt we may be facing because He went through suffering and rejection. Do we also turn away from Him?
Luke 22:61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Are you following the crowd? On Palm Sunday the crowd yelled “Hosanna” and one week later they cried “Crucify Him”. Following the crowd can lead you into wrong decisions.
Luke 23:21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
“If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.” Adrian Rogers
Many of us are busy. Busy doing what is the question. Too busy to serve The Lord by doing things that do not matter? God wants us to serve Him. Prayer, Bible study, Worship, Witnessing and Obeying Him is what He wants from us as Christians. Spend time everyday serving Him. Do not be too busy.
Luke 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Someone said that “Florida is a graveyard for Christians.” The meaning: they move to Florida to “retire” and they think their work is done including work for the Lord. Sometimes it is hard to get older folks to do anything for Jesus and yet they are the ones who have the time and resources to do more for Him than they ever could when they were working. God intends ALL of us us to work until He calls us home no matter what our age. Are you living in the graveyard?
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Social media can be a blessing or a curse. It’s how we use what is given to us that is important. It can bring evil or good into peoples lives. TV, radio and the Internet can bring truth or lies into the lives of anyone who will listen. Our goal is Christians should be to use social media to further the gospel and truth. Today, reach out to someone through Facebook, WeChat or Instagram to encourage them to follow the Lord. You will be amazed at what you can do by just telling someone you are thinking of them and praying for them.
Mark 5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
If you don’t have time to do a job right, what makes you think you’ll have time to do it over?
1 Corinthians 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Tired of all the many things that you have to do? Job, family, church, home and all the other activities that sometimes overwhelm you? If you have the attitude that everything you do is to honor The Lord Jesus, then nothing is to hard. Keep the thought that your labor is not in vain. Get your priorities right. God, family and then everything else. Make sure to put Him first.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Have you ever lost your car or house keys? Carolyn lost the mailbox keys. Searched the house, car, office and clothing pockets; nowhere to be found. Prayer asking the Lord to show her where they were. Two days later, she was washing her car on the stone drive, she looked down and there among the stones were the keys. Relief and gladness with thanksgiving. The Bible talks about things that are lost in parables. Jesus was speaking of lost souls. Are you looking for opportunities to find lost souls?
Luke 15:10 Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
