Beginnings

I am beginning this blog because I have been starting to think alot about the things that God is teaching me. I just want a place to reflect on those things. Lately, God has been challenging me about my lack of sharing Jesus with others. I have been challenged through the study of Luke that I am doing with a friend, as well as the books I am reading. The Last Jihad series by Joel Rosenberg has shown me how soon Jesus could return and the importance of sharing lilfe with those around me. I am also reading One Thing You Can't Do in Heaven by Mark Cahill. He is so passionate about talking to everyone that crosses his path about the only way to heaven that he even takes vacations to strategic locations to put himself near many who don't believe so that he will have more opportunities to share. I want to have this same kind of passion! I want to work Jesus into every conversation I have.

When I lived in China, I lived to make every moment count for eternity, but I have gotten comfortable in my life now and have forgotten the urgency of reaching others for Christ. Why is this? Is it because I don't care? I don't think so. Is it because I don't feel the urgency? Probably somewhat. I think mostly it is because I have not put myself in the path of unbelievers much. I need to seek out those unbelievers!

God, show me how to be bold when I have those moments to speak to unbelievers. Help me see the opportunities You lay out for me and to seek out those who don't know you and share Your loving plan for their lives.
