Ruffle People's Feathers... for Jesus

Why is talking about our Faith

so hard to do sometimes?

****************************************

We may easily talk about the latest TV show, video game, or console, but when the topic of God surfaces with my friends, they tend to clam up.  So do I.

I don’t want to appear pushy!  

 

 

 

You know, some of my friends have ridiculed me for my beliefs, calling me "extreme. "

I know people worry about sounding "Politically Incorrect  ...” or narrow-minded. 

It is natural to not want to ruffle people’s feathers!

But I heard a guy recently who explained it this way:

Suppose that after much research, you found a cure for cancer.  You were certain that this cure would save many lives.  Wouldn’t you tell everyone you knew about it?  Talking about the cure would possibly become your mission and Passion in life!

There is a man who has recently become my friend.  His name is Joseph Benjamin Gootham, and our church supports his work in India.  He is the minister at the Church of Christ in Andrah Pradesh, India.  Look him up, write to him!  I DID!  He will write you back

 

 

He is on Facebook.  And he is a soul winner!! 

 

 

That's what I want to be, too.

Joy, Peace, Hope, Meaningful Life...

  This is what sharing the Gospel is like…

because a life APART from God is a DIRE way to live. 

We KNOW the key to eternal Life with God!!! 

We must spread the word around!!! 

Some will accept it.  Some won’t.  We CANNOT keep it to ourselves! 

I have another friend, a guy just a bit older than I am... his name is  Abe Howell.  ABE  and Ms. Gove worked  with orphans in Kenya. 

 

 

They LOVE serving God in this way.

*****************************

The word “GOSPEL” signifies the  good, merry, glad, and joyful tidings that make a soul  sing, celebrate, and leap for joy!  Jesus told his disciples in Mark 16:15 to “Go into the entire world and preach the gospel to every creature.”

 

Do you know my friend…  Wissam? 

He is IN the world Preaching Jesus!  I met him the first Sunday that we came to PA, 6 years ago.  He was on fire for Christ then, and he still is.  He has visited in our home, eaten at our Dinner Table, played Nerf gun Battles with me, and prayed with my family.

Wissam is my Mentor. I write to him regularly.  I pray for him every day.  Mark 16:15 is his LIFE, converting many Muslims to Christ.  It is kind of a dangerous work, please pray for him.

 

Jesus’s command to Go and Preach is for US, too! 

 Those who accept the gospel will thank you on that final,  last day when we are taken to be with God forever!

Have you accepted the Gospel?  Have you been baptized for the remission of your sins?  Do you have any need that the church is able to meet?
