How bold can you go?




I am not posting this video as a props to the person in the video, but am giving props to Christ. It is only through Christ that we are this bold with our faith. If Christ dwells within you and the power of the Holy Spirit is in control of your life and your love for Chris is on fire, there is no way to contain who we believe in.

I know not all of us will go out singing at the top of our lungs on the street, but we need to be more bold for Christ. He is the only Way, the Truth and the Life. What is holding us back from proclaiming Christ or even living out our faith in public? Our faith is not our own, we cannot be so selfish to just keep it for ourselves and think that others will eventually find their way to our Lord and Saviour. You might be the only person that day that has the possibility to show Christ to a stranger or a friend. Why should you let that opportunity pass you by? Christ wants every person on this earth to know and have an intimate relationship with him. Who are we to stand in his way? We are his hands and his feet. We are "Christ" to those we meet and talk to on a daily basis.

Let us reflect on how bold we are and how bold Christ is calling us. May our prayer be to make us more bold or if that is too strong of a prayer, then pray that the Spirit may give you a willingness to even consider being bold in your faith. Christ is calling you to greatness, are you willing to accept this humbling greatness in Christ.

Sacrifice - Give everything, the reward is great

A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in morethan all the other contributors to the treasury.For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,her whole livelihood.” Mark 12:42-44

Who are we to hold anything back from our Lord. Jesus held nothing back on the cross, when he died for our sins. If we love the Lord then we will strive to give our whole lives to Christ. To sacrifice everything for the sake of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let us contemplate today how much we actually give to Christ and if adjustments need to be made let us not fear, for the strength of Christ is with us.
