SHARING OUR FAITH WITH OTHERS

SHARING OUR FAITH WITH OTHERS


ONE of the things
We are ALWAYS called upon
To do
Is to SHARE our FAITH


SHARE your faith
In love
Share your faith
In forgiveness
And share your faith
IN KINDNESS and mercy


“Therefore go
And MAKE disciples
Of all nations


BAPTIZE 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” Matthew 28:19-20


And Jesus himself was baptized
By his cousin John


I too was BAPTIZED
As a baby-and
RECONFIRMED a number of different times
As an adult


And Jesus-himself-
GIVES us a tough passage
In the Gospel of Mark


“WHOEVER believes and is baptized
Will be saved


Whoever does not believe
Will be condemned” Mark 16:16


Jesus seems to be saying
“YOU are in-or
You are out”


We worship such a LOVING-
MERCIFUL God-but who knows-
Whether he meant it literally-
or not?


For what it is worth-I-
TOTALLY believe in him


FAITH is a difficult thing
But I have found it easier
To NAVIGATE life's challenges
In faith


When we balance our life
With faith in God and Jesus


Life is easier
WHEN we have FAITH
Than when our faith is
Weak or nonexistent


And we must SHARE-
Our faith in God and Jesus
With others


“IF you don not
Stand FIRM in your faith


You will NOT stand at all” Isaiah 7:9


“Jesus replied,
'If you have FAITH
And do not doubt


Not only can
You DO what was done
To the fig tree


But you can say
To this mountain,
'GO throw yourself
Into the sea'


And it will be done


If you BELIEVE
You will receive
Whatever you ask for
In PRAYER” Matthew 21:21-22


OUR LORD wants NONE
Of us-to be condemned


He CONVERTED Saul
Into Paul-
And he can convert anyone-
At any time


May you faith-BECOME-
As strong as Paul's


And may you always SHARE
Your FAITH WITH OTHERS


That way-we can ALL
Go to heaven


SEE YOU THERE!!!


In Jesus' name,
