I want to apologize for not posting for a while.  No good excuse.  I will say that my witnessing has been virtually non-existent...again without excuse.  This is hopefully encouragement that it is not any easier for me to share my faith than it is for you.  Lately God has been strengthening me through a DVD Lecture series called The Truth Project.  We have been going through it with our life group and what a blessing it has been to me.  To know that what you are sharing is the Truth, and what non-believers buy into is a Lie, makes it so much more important to share the Gospel.  Jesus said his purpose in coming to the earth was this..."To testify to The Truth." What we believe in is a God.  He said, "He is The Way, The Truth, The Life, and no man comes to the Father but through him."  That means that a good Buddhist, or a good Muslim is not going to know the Father.  And remember, God is preparing a place for us eternally, but Eternal Life is this, "...that they may know thee the only True God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."  Eternal Life is intimate knowledge of our Creator God.  That's what this world lacks because, Paul says, they have, "exchanged the Truth of God for a Lie..."

Pray for me.  Encourage me.  I want to do the same for you.  Church on Sunday is not the end-all be-all of our Christian walk.   

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:"

Find your gifts, Use them, and Encourage other believers to use theirs as well.  You are not padding me up if you encourage me to Witness.  You are following a scriptural directive.  Please comment.  Ask questions, or just talk spiritual things...it helps me.
