What Are You Really Talking About?

Welp, I guess we gotta keep talking about election stuff for a while longer…it’s a bit exhausting really. It’s all I’ve been hearing people talk about. But let’s take a minute and think about what we are always “talking about”. If you’re like most people, and I assume you are, you’re talking about work, kids, your round of golf, relationships etc. In fact, I bet there are a few subjects that we just don’t stop talking about because we love them so much. For me these days, it’s flying and sometimes cancer. Although I try not to talk about the cancer much. I genuinely love flying and sharing with others, it’s a passion and I can’t wait to get in the air again. But let’s stop for a second and consider something. Are these “things” really the most important things in our lives? I’m mean, I’m pretty confident that an airplane didn’t save my soul from sin and promise me eternity...did your golf, hunting trips, kids or work do that? Doubt it. “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”1 Peter 3:15 I’m pretty sure you get my point now. I think we need to be locked and loaded and excited to share our story with others. I feel like we should be so excited that it’s the most important topic we can talk about. So why don’t we?My guess is maybe it’s not “cool” or accepted in Pop culture to talk about Jesus. Well, I can tell you this, I’m going to talk about him and I’m going to share my story. It’s the testimony God made just for me and He has made it clear that He wants us to go and make disciples of others. So here is my challenge to you. It’s a two part challenge. First, reflect on your own salvation and think about how you can tell your story. Second, think about who you know that needs to hear it and go tell them. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the world needs ‘em some Jesus…Be nice, Grace WinsFMJ
