so it's been a week and half since it's been 2009..... and it's been showing much promise thus far, within these past NINE days.heh.
nonetheless,
i've set some resolution if you will, for this upcoming year.
just some steps or standards or goals to help me become a more efficient and better equipped child of God.
i'll tell ya, it gets harder and harder being a Christian this day and age...
so much scrutiny, heresy, and hardened hearts...even our own.
but we wait earnestly for our Lord Christ to come through once again, in all of his splendor and majesty.
and we live in a time where spreading the gospel is THAT much easier!
the OG disciples only wished they had internet or email or planes or telephones and dorm rooms, cmon now.....
it's not the lack of communication... it's the lack of faith really.
so as children of the MOST HIGH, we're called to "make every effort to add to our faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." -2 Peter 1:5-7
right around the holiday season, Pastor Stephen and I along with sister Esther, hitup the subways and told em the true reason for the season and help them find true fulfillment during this potentially lonely season...... the Lord is already working, He's just looking for workers to harvest the fields y'all~
it was my third time doing open-air evangelizing in the underground of NYC~
nerve-wrecking, yes.
insecure, yes.
worried, yes.
thirsty, yes.
worth it?
absolutely!
it's def not ez preaching something people get killed for in other parts of the world.
but how can the saved do nothing for whom they once were like, unsaved.
aren't we eternally grateful for someone telling us the gospel?
whether it b a preacher or a friend..... i can't wait to get to heaven and join brothers and sisters who i've never met, personally thanking me for being Christlike in my studies, conversations, actions, movie theatre, subways, campus, WHATEVER!...and saying it's because of that.... i came to know the Lord as my personal savior~ gosh.... what an overwhelming feeling of God's goodness!
"In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven." -Matthew 5:16
So i'm challenging all the brothers and sisters who read this....let's be doers and not just hearers!
Let's reach out, be disciples, be broken, be bold, courageous, faithful, be willing, be humble, and above all love~
2009.....is mine, let's do this.
4 Christ of course ;)
witta backpack full of tracts, gametime.
