Joy Comes...

Life is sweet!  An 8 year old girl had heard the Gospel on the previous Sunday in kid's church.  Then asked her mom if she could ask some more questions.  So Mom made an appointment with me.  The mother, father, and young girl arrived at my office at 4:00 PM.  After about 20 minutes of talking through all have sinned, the wages of sin is death, but God offers a free gift, It's Jesus, Here's how you get the gift, confess and believe.  Both the mother and the daughter with tears in their eyes said..."YES!" before I could even finish asking them.  Joy comes for us believers when we tap into this opportunity to share our faith...Folks in this world are HUNGRY for truth...and many other them will say YES to Jesus if we just ask!

Does the Boogeyman got your Tougue?

   This is a picture of the Boogeyman from WWE wrestling RAW.  His signature move is dropping worms into the mouth of his opponents when he has them pinned.  The point is to evoke fear into the heart of his challenger.  Pretty lame if you ask me.

   Here is something that evokes fear in Christians.  When asked, more Christians place in the top three fears as a believer, having sharing their faith with someone.  Seriously, HAVING to share faith in Jesus?  Instead of it being a wonderful privilege and a great joy, folks get sick and even ill thinking about it.  So attach yourself to this truth...I Peter 3:14b-15 “Do not fear…do not be frightened. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord.   Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect…” 

  May our tribe at LifePoint be motivated to share our faith in Jesus with passion and joy!
