To the Streets

Today, after lunch, we went as a class with a few staff members and witnessed to the people of Jackson. It was the first time I have ever done something like that and it was nerve-racking but exciting. I walked around with Shannon and though we didn't get into any deep conversations we were able to give out gospel tracts to quite a few people.

I still don't really know how I feel about tracts except that I know that God, the Holy Spirit can use anything and I believe we planted some seeds today. A few people in the group were able to really talk to people that were open to hearing the gospel. It was an amazing experience and I'm praying God will use the little work we have done here to glorify Him.

I fear that we as Christians really don't share our faith enough. Every time we leave the house we should be looking and ready to tell others the good news. We learned a lot about "The Way of the Master" and how to share the gospel by first starting with the law so that a person can see their need for salvation. I feel more equipped to actually talk to people because I know how to talk to them.

Also I have really seen how we need to go out there and tell people. I mean, Jesus commanded us to tell the world and even if people reject us - they are really rejecting God and they will have no excuse on Judgment Day. Judgment is real and I do care about my fellow man; if we truly believe what the Bible says then...all those lost people are headed for eternity in hell and if I can share the gospel with them and the may Holy Spirit uses me, then how can I not go out there?
