My Reflections

Be ready to share the Gospel

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
Philippians 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Do you have a plan ready to share the gospel if the opportunity presented itself? What would you do or say?

Answer:
My primary plan is to start by sharing my own personal testimony or experience. What I would do or say depends on the person I am dealing with. Having been in a customer service setting a lot of times previously while I was working, I can read people at least to a point. Sometimes you have to use different approaches with different people.

Scripture writing - James 2:18-24

Scripture:
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Observations:
Verse 18- Faith is shown by works
Verse 19- You do well to believe in God, but you should also fear him like the demons do.
Verse 20- Your faith is dead if your works don't back it up.
Verse 21- Abraham was justified by his works.
Verse 22- His works resulted from his faith, and showed his faith to be perfect.
Verse 23- Abraham had faith in God and was counted righteous because of it.
Verse 24- True belief and faith will always be displayed by works.

Application:
Bottom line: True belief and faith will always be displayed by works. Actions speak louder than Words.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Let my actions display my faith in you. I want to be counted righteous too. Help me to remain faithful.
In Jesus's name,
Amen

Well, I have heard women are from Mars and men are from Venus, but I don't think I agree. 🤷‍♀️

Prompt: Write a paragraph or two beginning with the words "The Secret of Love" or "Love is the Secret".

The secret of love is selflessness. It is being willing to put others needs before your own. It is the type of love Jesus gives and models so we can love others the same way.
