About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

LIVING A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE
LIVING A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE
ARE YOU HAVING A HARD TIME LIVING A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE? COULD IT BE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SPENDING ENOUGH TIME IN GOD'S WORD? THE MORE TIME WE SPEND WITH JESUS, THE LESS TIME WE HAVE TO THINK ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT DISTRACT US. WE HAVE TO GUARD AGAINST ANY TEMPTATION. I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES AND YOU WILL PROBABLY HEAR IT MANY MORE TIMES BUT YOU CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY SOMETHING YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT. TEMPTATION STARTS IN OUR MINDS AND WE MUST DO WHAT IT SAYS IN ROMANS 12:2 WHICH IS "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU CAN'T LIVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE AND STILL HAVE FUN. LET ME TELL YOU THEY ARE WRONG. I HAVE LIVED BOTH SIDES AND I HAD MORE FUN AT A GOOD BIBLE STUDY CLASS WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS THEN I EVER DID SITTING AROUND A POKER TABLE. IT IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO.
LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BUT BE SURE YOU ACT LIKE ONE. I AM PROUD OF MY LOVE FOR JESUS. I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY TO ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO COMPROMISE. I WAS IN SALES FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS AND TRAVELED FIVE DAYS A WEEK CALLING ON MARINAS UP AND DOWN THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. IN CONVERSATIONS, I SOMETIMES MENTIONED JESUS AND AT FIRST IT WAS NOT WELL RECEIVED. THE SUBJECT WOULD ALWAYS CHANGE. AS TIME WENT ON, THE PEOPLE CHANGED. THEY KNEW WHAT I BELIEVED AND KNEW I WAS NOT ASHAMED OF IT. IF SOMEONE MENTIONED THEY WERE SICK OR HAD A SICK FAMILY MEMBER, I WOULD TELL THEM I WOULD PRAY FOR THEM. AT FIRST I WOULD DO THE PRAYING AFTER I GOT IN MY CAR BUT AS TIME WENT ON AND THE PEOPLE WERE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH PRAYER, I WOULD PRAY FOR AND WITH THEM RIGHT THERE WHERE THEY WERE. I WAS NEVER PUSHY SHARING JESUS WITH ANYONE. I BELIEVE THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TURN PEOPLE OFF ON BEING A CHRISTIAN.
SO, BE BOLD IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS AND DON'T COMPROMISE. HE DIDN'T COMPROMISE WHEN IT CAME TO GOING TO THE CROSS FOR US AND HE WANTS TO LIVE IN AND THROUGH US. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN GALATIANS 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. WE MUST ALL LIVE A GOOD CHRISTIAN LIFE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR US EVERY DAY. THIS WILL ALSO SHOW PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE JESUS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
