Evangelism 101

Its not the destination, its the journey..I think I may have heard this somewhere but maybe not.  We all have somewhere or someplace to go and its important that we get there. Many of us would just like to reach our destination but what do you do while you are enroute. I love to drive, I think....;), just the other day in the middle of December in Chicago I saw a red robin and it was beautiful and breathtaking. It was also a reminder of how present God is in our life. I decided to research the red robin and it meaning and its symbolism represents joy, clarity, hope, renewal, rejuvenation, happiness and new beginining.  Strangely enough it also represents spring and warmth..Winter hasnt started yet.  I say this to say that GOD operates in wherever and whenever He likes. The red robin has a desitnation and I know for sure along the way he sent me a message in his journey. He never spoke a word but it ministered to me as it is ministering to you.
Much like this red robin who are you ministering to as you hurry off to your destination. Interesting enough I didnt have a face to face encourter with Mr. Robin to feel his presence or to know that God was with him. How do you respresent to the body of Christ? Has it become a testiment in how you live and how you present  yourselves to others. How do you spread the Word? At times we want to appear or be "deep" to reach the masses but be aware even Jesus came down amongst His people, and His life became a testimony to all. Do you speak to others? Do you smile at your brother? Do you have road rage? Do you stand in line at the grocery store waiting impatiently with a "Living for Christ" T-shirt on? Do you bash your brother? How does your light show? I do you know you are living for Chirst, Matthew 5:14-16 (MSG) says “Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.
