Evangelism Is Not a Gift.

Is is a matter of obedience and disobedience, like so many other things in the Christian life.
-Mark Cahill
I suck at talking about my faith.
But when it comes right down to it, that doesn't matter, that shouldn't matter.
Because when the rubber hits the road, we are talking about people's lives. And not their physical lives, but their spiritual ones.
Do you know the one thing that we won't be able to do in Heaven?
We won't be able to witness to people who haven't heard of the all-encompassing love of Christ.
That chance will have been completely spent.
"Witnessing" (the very word) makes me cringe. It makes me think of stuffing things people don't want to hear down their throats, but this is not what witnessing should be.
It should be the passionate portrayal of a passionate God's love for his people, whom he is so passionately seeking.
Nothing boring or "stuffy" in that, don't you think?
Because in the end, it won't matter how many philosophy books we read, or how many dollars we earn, or how many iPhone's we bought.
It will matter how we spent our lives, not our money. How we gave our time, opened our hearts, and spoke our words-- All for the glory of God and the reclamation of His people.
I know that many times people say, "Live out your faith! people will see that, and know your different."
And yes, this is true. But words bring articulation to actions, and so must be supported by them.

This isn't a kid's game. These are people's souls we're talking about here.
So where will you dwell for eternity?
What will God say to you when you meet him face to face?
I pray that I will be able to have the courage to change what I think God would say right now.
Because nowhere does it say that being a Christian is easy. But it is a Blessed way of life.
