Afraid to Share Your Faith?

A humorous video on why many people don't share their faith:

Thanks to the Rebelution where I found the video.

Afraid to share your faith? Or is it just excuses? Matthew 28:19-20 says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Here is a bit of an article I read on Sharing Jesus without Fear:

"If you want to share Jesus without fear, how do you get started? Starting a
discussion about spirituality is often the biggest barrier to sharing your faith
in Jesus Christ. Do you wonder how to approach the subject in the midst of
everyday conversation? You can make this a much easier task by using the simple
technique of asking your friend questions about his beliefs. This technique
usually has two benefits. First, your friend may be more obliged to listen to
your beliefs once you have listened to his. Second, and more important, this
technique allows you to know what is going on in your friend's life so that you
can better minister to him." ~ allaboutgod.com Aricle: Share Jesus without Fear

Stop and Think

Well I was browsing some of the old post on The Rebelution. I found this Evangelism video(15min) on there done by a Christian Film Company...and I think it's worth spreading! This video is very well done.

God's Will

What is God's Will? How do we figure out what He wants us to do? In an article on christianworldviewnetwork.com, Pastor Steve Cornell lays out 12 guidlines on Finding and Following God's Will. This article is a short read and well worth the time!

Purpose

The Change:

All of us as Christians are like gold in the process of being refined. All have the potential of shining for Him! But, as we are humans, our quality is tarnished, just like unrefined gold. Through our walk with Him we are slowly refined and polished as he changes and removes the human impurities of our lives.

2 Corinthians 3:18 "So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image."

The Change is geared toward the next generation…(but hopefully can be an encouragement to all…young and old!)…The next generation will bring the leaders of tomorrow. Not just leaders of our government, but leaders of our churches, and our businesses, and our communities!

The purpose of The Change is to stimulate and promote thought on what we believe and why we believe.

I hope The Change can be a place of good discussion. Where the readers can challenge and encourage each other in doing what’s right even if it’s hard!

To share with the readers good thought provoking articles. Also to encourage readers to dig deeper and to look for principles in the Scriptures that they can apply to their own life.

Be Changed!
