wednesday witness.

I'm starting this new thing - Wednesday Witness. And it scares me. 

Recently I have been highly convicted about spreading the gospel. Sure, I go to church, am involved in Bible studies, and spend time in the Word every day. I think it's extremely important to have discipleship and close, uplifting relationships with believers so we can grow in Christ. But what am I really doing to further the gospel to those who don't know about it? Am I just stuck in my own little bubble of comfort? Why should I be comfortable? Were Jesus' New Testament Christians like Paul or Timothy comfortable? Was Jesus Himself comfortable?

No. They weren't. And they didn't care because they gave it completely to God. I want to be more like them. Servants of Jesus Christ. To take a step in that direction, I have decided to make a commitment and reach out of my comfort zone to do things for Christ that I may not want to do. One of them being talking to strangers about the gospel. Straight up. Here in the Bible Belt, which is a scary place for Christians, it's not going to be enough for me to ask a random person if he believes in God or if he is a Christian - a lot of people in the South would probably just say yes. I need to seriously talk to people about Christ and why we need a Savior. 

This is literally the most important thing in life. I can't push it away or avoid it. I can't call myself a devoted follower of Christ if I am not spreading His gospel. I just can't. 

Therefore, I am committing to witnessing to at least one person I do not know every week. And then I'm going to write about it. Not for show, not because I think I'm doing some great thing. I mean seriously, I should be witnessing to people all of the time, not just once a week. But this is a start. I've got to start somewhere. And by writing about it, I have accountability. So keep me accountable. Ask me about it. Read my Wednesday Witness stories. They may be pretty rough, I have no idea how this is going to go. I could get rejected over and over again without any signs of a positive reaction. But wasn't Jesus rejected over and over? Am I not supposed to live like Him?

Every Wednesday, if I have access to a functioning computer, I will give an update about this commitment. I'm already nervous, but I'm on God's side. Which is the best place to be. :)

Maybe you don't know about the "gospel" that I am talking about. Watch this video.
