One of the things I love about my job at Back to the Bible is that I get to work with other Christians doing work for the Lord. What a privilege. However, working at a ministry where all my co-workers are Christians means that I don't have a lot of opportunity to mingle with people who don't know Christ. Add to that the fact that I also lead worship at my church, so much of my time away from Back to the Bible is also spent with fellow Christians, and you can really see that I don't get a lot of face time with people who aren't Christ followers. That can bum me out--particularly when I see example after example of Jesus seeking out and spending time with lost people.
So consider this today. How much interaction do you have with people who don't know Christ? And, are you making the most of those opportunities? How can we break out of what I like to call our "Christian snow dome" and get more involved with people that need to know Jesus? Tami W.
Is it enough to do our best to live as a Christian and to treat others as a Christian would in our daily lives? I struggle with this. I think about the people who helped me back after I had strayed. They were there for me. They had peace. So, how can I apply this to helping others? Never giving up on those around me? I am going to have to direct more prayer to this. I am very interested in others' thoughts.
Oh Tami, I am totally the opposite. I spend most of my week with non-christians. I only get to have fellowship with Christians for a couple of hours on Sunday. That bums me out. The work environment does not allow me to verbally share my testimony, but I try my best to smile, be professionaly and polite. I can try to have a good attitude (Christian attitude) even when things are not going well. Hopefully people will see by my life that something is different. Hopefully they will see a little bit of Jesus in me.
I am not a shy person per say,but i always shy away from preaching to people,despite the fact that,it is the wish of JESUS for we Christians.And the guilt always come,but any time i am opportune,i seize the opportunity to share my good testimony with people,being convince that i am witnessing . In order to break out,i will just continue to ask GOD for more opportunity and courage to witness and share my great testimonies.
I was saved on Oct. 17, my "New Birthday" - PRAISE GOD!!! My experiences so far mirror Mrs. Remi's. I am just getting more comfortable telling my male friends about the miracle/gift that God has given me. I still haven't told my co-workers even though they "believe" in Christ. I am a firefighter and up to this point I just wasn't able to do it, even though I felt bad because, like Mrs. Remi stated, God wants us to share the gift with others. I pray every day for the strength and courage to tell of Christ's goodness.
