I know that Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron from the Way of the Master show both say to never wear a Christian t-shirt when you are out sharing your faith but I still did the other day. I went to Target Monday night with my son and was wearing my C28 t-shirt which read on the front - SINNER. It is based on the verse where the Apostle Paul said that he was the worst sinner which I can totally relate to. I bought a padlock for my son's locker and the checker said, "I like your shirt." I asked him if he was a Christian and he said that he was. His name was Mario. I asked him where he attended church and he said in San Leandro. I have previously met his pastor, Pastor Gary. Mario shared that he wanted to be a youth pastor someday and spends most of days either at work or at the church. We traded pleasantries and said God bless you to each other. Before I left I gave him an Obama million $ gospel tract and he chuckled.
We never know when we will have opportunities to encourage a fellow believer or share our faith with a person who has yet to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We pray for opportunities all the time but do you recognize the opportunities we have everyday?
My favorite acronym is B.O.B. Pray that God by His spirit will BURDEN your heart for the lost, He will give you divine OPPORTUNITIES and that you will recognize those divine appointments and that He will empower you by His spirit to BOLDLY speak His word without fear. Very few Christians share their faith with a dying world. Our friends, family, co-workers and strangers on the street are heading for Hell. God speaks about hell more in His word than heaven.
Step out of your comfort zone and share your faith. Sharing your faith can be in many ways and to tell you the truth, whether you know it or not, you are sharing your faith everyday. Everytime we speak we are telling the world something. It could be that you are different and ppl want to know what that difference in you is. Or perhaps you open your mouth and pp think that you are a hypocrite and don't walk your talk. This is me at times. Pray for me I am in process. The type of movies you buy or rent tells the world about you. How you act shares your faith. The world is watching Christians. They are generally hoping that your walk does not match your talk. The reason being that they have to look in the mirror everyday and if they don't like what they see as their reflection, it makes them feel better when you fall.
Those of you who are Christians are sharing your faith. What kind of testimony are you sharing with the world. The Harvest is great but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest to send out the workers.
