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,
