Being A Witness For Jesus
May 29, 2018
A preacher went into a discount department store and walked to the back to buy some fishing tackle. As he was standing at the counter, he asked, “What is a good lure for bass?” The man standing next to him began to talk about fishing lures, good places to catch bass, how to use a particular lure, and this and that. And he kept talking.
The preacher bought one of the lures and the man kept talking. The preacher left the store and the man followed him out to his car. He was getting into his car and the man was still talking to him about catching bass. Do you think that man loved fishing? You bet he did!
Now, if you took that same man and put him in a church and said, “Sir, go out and share Jesus Christ,” he might say, “Oh, I can’t talk. I don’t know how to do that.” Do you know what his problem is? Jesus Christ is not as real to him as a bass.
Friend, when Christ has changed your life, you will be a witness unto Him. Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
