Do The People Around You Know About The One Who Changed Your Life? 

I understand the cultural challenges and baggage surrounding the name of Jesus… and I don’t think the world needs anymore pushy Christians!

However, I have always found it quite honest and powerful to share about what has changed my life! People usually don’t mind! And, they need to hear the Gospel, as well as seeing it lived (of course)!

If Jesus has changed your life and become your reason for living, do everyone a favor by bringing Him up from time to time!!!

To be honest, I find it most honest to say that I’m connected to the church-historic too. I’m unashamed! The church has made some terrible mistakes in areas, and still does, YET we have an incredible rich history too of serving, loving, caring for the needy, and on and on!

Both Jesus and His church get a bad rap, and sometimes for very understandable reasons! But, we need not be ashamed or hide them away!

Jesus is SOOO beautiful!

Your life lived in His name will only further the beautiful reputation of Christ!

And your honesty will only add to the respect of His name if He’s made a difference in your life!!!

Preach the Gospel… 

With His life manifesting through you first,

AND don’t be afraid to use words! 😜
