Naturally Sharing Your Faith
If there’s one major reason for the backslidden state of America or the nation in which you live, it’s believers failing to share their faith.
Lack of light (evangelism and discipleship) always leads to increasing darkness (sinful culture and lost souls).
Though I work with a global organization (YWAM) committed to completing the Great Commission and making disciples of all nations, I confess that I oftentimes don’t share my faith naturally with those I see every day.
And regularly God convicts me to share my faith so that others can be saved.
Here are some honest thoughts on naturally sharing your faith.
One Area The USA Shouldn’t Be Exceptional
As a student and teacher of United States history, I’m thrilled at how God took a “hidden continent” (The New World) three hundred years ago and created a nation/civilization never seen before in history. We call that miracle “American Exceptionalism.”
Our biblical faith, melting pot unity, political institutions, social fraternities, political freedoms, and unparalleled blessings have made the United States of America a model for other nations to follow.
But recently something has happened to our populace and civics that is very concerning.
Here’s one area of U.S. culture that shouldn’t be exceptional.
See What God is Doing and Join In
I recently attended a local pastors meeting to share a burden on my heart. I wanted the leaders to be inspired by God’s current work in our nation/world and get involved.
I specifically encouraged them to promote the Baptism Revival in our area. A “Summer of Baptisms” is exploding throughout the USA in answer to prayer. So far, the largest expression (possibly in history) took place a month ago in Southern California when 14,000 people gave their lives to Jesus and were baptized in the ocean.
The water’s too cold in the Northwest for that, but I told the pastors that lakes, pools, and hot tubs would work fine.
I wanted them to experience the current move of God’s Spirit.
