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.

"NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
DO YOU THINK IT IS HARD TO LIVE A CHRISTIAN LIFE? IT IS IF WE DON'T GIVE ENOUGH TIME TO JESUS. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THESE DAYS THAT CAN TEMPT A PERSON. OUR JOB IS TO GUARD AGAINST THAT TEMPTATION. I HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIME AND YOU WILL PROBABLY HEAR IT FROM ME MANY, MANY MORE TIMES BUT "YOU CAN'T BE TEMPTED BY SOMETHING YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT". TEMPTATION STARTS IN THE MIND AND IF WE DON'T STOP IT, SIN CREEPS IN.
SOME PEOPLE THINK WE CHRISTIANS DON'T HAVE FUN. I TELL YOU THAT I HAVE MORE FUN AT A GOOD BIBLE STUDY CLASS THAN I EVER DID DRINKING AT SOME BAR OR SITTING AT A POKER TABLE. IT IS WHERE WE CHOOSE TO BE.
LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE IT. LET PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BUT BE SURE TO ACT LIKE ONE. I AM PROUD OF MY LOVE FOR JESUS AND I WANT TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY. I ONLY TELL YOU THIS TO ENCOURAGE YOU NOT TO COMPROMISE. I WAS IN SALES FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS BEFORE I RETIRED. I TRAVELED ALL THE TIME AND AT FIRST WHEN I WOULD CASUALLY MENTION JESUS IN CONVERSATION, PEOPLE WOULD FIND OTHER PLACES TO GO AND OTHER THINGS TO DO BECAUSE IT WOULD MAKE THEM UNCOMFORTABLE. THE MORE I WAS AROUND THEM, I WOULD TRY TO BRING UP THE NAME OF JESUS IN SOME WAY, NOT BEING PUSHY, BUT JUST IN CONVERSATION, THEY GOT MORE AT EASE WITH ME AND KNEW EXACTLY WHERE I STOOD AND WHAT I BELIEVED.
PERSISTENCE PAID OFF BECAUSE BEFORE LONG, WHEN SOMEONE WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM, OR BE SICK, THEY WOULD ASK ME TO PRAY FOR THEM OR SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY. I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE WHO SAY THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND THEN FORGET IT. I WOULD STOP AND PRAY FOR THEM RIGHT THERE. PEOPLE WANT WHAT WE HAVE BUT JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL THEM.
SO, BE BOLD IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO JESUS. HE WANTS TO LIVE IN AND THROUGH US. SEE WHAT GALATIANS 2:20 SAYS "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." TELL SOMEONE TODAY ABOUT JESUS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
