5 guys walk into a room. Statistics say that less than 1 of them will make a profession of faith in Jesus Christ as their savior. Meaning: their eternal destiny ain't heaven. This thought just popped into my head. I'm not sure why, but it just did and now I'm depressed. But am I really willing to do anything about it? The fact is I'm as scared as the next person is to share my faith. Will I have the right words? Will I offend them by being too forward? Will they think I'm weird? What if they ask me a question to which I don't know the answer?
There are a million reasons not to share my faith, but only one reason too: God loves these people whose lives are continually paving an unlimited highway to Hell.
5 guys walk into a room. God give me the strength to tell them all about you.
I relate to all of your fears, James, when it comes to sharing my faith. But I have come to realize I am afraid only when I forget that I am merely the messenger. The power is in the message. My biggest fear is that I will somehow get in the way in the delivery.
