JOURNAL/WITNESSING TO THE WORD




“I came to you in WEAKNESS and FEAR and much trembling-and my message and my proclamation
with persuasive words of wisdom........” 1 Corinthians 2:3-4


IN the OLD DAYS-TO PROCLAIM the message of Christ-was taking your life into peril-NOT SO true today-UNLESS we happen to be living in the middle East or Far EAST


BUT living in America-WHEN you PROCLAIM the message of God and Christ-sometimes people may think you are a little off or crazy


IN EITHER CASE-it takes the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT to give us the courage to PROCLAIM the WORD OF GOD IN LOVE though our actions and words


LAST YEAR-Pope Francis spoke to a gathering of young people in Brazil-we PRAY that the youth of this world-as well as US have the courage and the HOLY SPIRIT to PROCLAIM the GOOD NEWS OF GOD and Jesus Christ in today's world


IT IS a great day to be ALIVE in GOD'S AMAZING never-ending LOVE for us




















WITNESSING TO THE WORD


Do you know
What the word martyr means
It means WITNESS
In this sense


A witness
That dies a literal death


But you don’t have
To physically die
To be a martyr
You just have to DIE to yourself
And your selfishness
In today’s world


YOU CAN BE
A living martyr


A witness
Gives evidence
Of WHO God is
And gives the evidence of truth
As to how
GOD AND CHRIST
Has changed our lives
And has worked in our lives


“YOU will receive power
When the Holy Spirit
COMES upon you
And you will be my WITNESSES
In Jerusalem
Throughout Judea and Samaria
And to
THE ends of the earth” Acts 1:8


Dear Lord-I PRAY-WE PRAY
That you ask me
That you ask us
To be true witnesses
IN TODAY’S WORLD
