DAY 20 - SHARE YOUR STORY

“Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, "My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.” (Acts 23:6, NIV)

Have you ever wanted to share the gospel with someone but were too shy to do so? Have you ever gotten into a conversation about religion, and it ended up being an argument? Most of us have been there at one point or another. I remember when I was a student at the University of Mississippi when a traveling evangelist came through. This guy was so rude and began condemning every person who walked by. According to him, if you wore a Rolling Stones t-shirt, then you were going straight to hell regardless if you were a Christian or not.

I remember thinking to myself that I don’t ever want to be like this guy. In my opinion, you can never share the gospel with an argument. On the contrary, it must be shared with a testimony. A testimony is personal; it is a story about you. The Apostle Paul was great at sharing his story with other people. His story was about a personal encounter with a Savior who is alive!

People need to hear about a gospel that is real and how it affects real people in real situations. People need to hear your story. 

    

IronMaker’s Daily Challenge:  Today, take advantage of an opportunity to share your story with someone.  

Prayer:  Loving Father, put someone in my path to do so that I can share my story with them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
