Don't be ashamed..........

Good morning guy's and gals! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was great came back from vacation Saturday night and Sunday morning God allowed me to share the experience of a man in his 40's accepting Jesus as his Savior! Man, that was just awesome. Then last night we continued on with the course Way of the Master. This course is very challenging on anyone that is taking it. Sharing your faith is not easy. At least that what the devil wants us to think. Why is it so hard? Let's look at one reason today and dig into some of the good stuff........

Bible Verse: Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth."

I challenge the youth and the adults that are taking this course to do at home work and a real world challenge every week. The first week not one person did the at home or real world work. Then week by week more and more are doing it. We have just finished our 5th week and they are getting a little more bold. Are people just scared? Why the fear? Why does it seem that people are ashamed? Are you ashamed to put a Bible on your desk at work? Are you ashamed to bow your head in the cafeteria? Are you ashamed to invite people to come to know Jesus? Are you ashamed of the One who died for you? Let me tell you a little story there was a little boy who had a dog, and somebody asked him what kind of dog he was. He was just a mutt dog, but the little guy said, "Well, he's a police dog." The friend said, "He doesn't look like a police dog." The little guy replied, "That's cause he's in the secret service." I'm really feel that there are many of us who are in the secret service. We ought to be open and bold for the gospel of our Savior but, we don't! Fear is not a bad thing guy's. I actually think it is a good thing. It forces us to rely on God and His strength. Ask God to give you strength and boldness today to live for Him and let others know of His love for them. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
