I read a very nice essay from the purpose driven life daily devotional titled 'Effective Witnessing in the Postmodern Age'.
HERE it is!
I liked this sentence- "Our business is not a sale or a convert but to speak openly about what we know and have experienced and to genuinely care about others regardless of their choices.'
Actually there were many other sentences that I liked and that made a lot of sense. It was all written very clearly. I think this essay has firmly set me in the correct direction, with regard to spreading the Good News of God (: But I guess in addition to knowing, I must practice and learn from experience.
Sometimes I feel so bad, because my actions and words are not Christ-like. I know that this will affect peoples' opinions about God, especially if I make it known that I am a Christian.
Sigh dear God, please help me to always persevere in imitating Christ!
Yay this weekend is going to be fun (: I think I should keep looking forward to things, it keeps me happy and optimistic! Because I am such a horribly pessimistic person sometimes.
Okay nice verse for today! It's about how suffering is necessary in life.
“As a result, I can really know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I can learn what it means to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so that, somehow, I can experience the resurrection from the dead.”-- Philippians 3:10-11
