And these fears are completely unsubstantiated, because every time I participate in some kind of open-air evangelism, you can ask if anyone was hostile, and for the most part, I have been really pleased with people's responses. I have been afraid of things that never happened!<BR/><BR/>For me, it comes to a question of faith and the issue of obedience. Who do I trust, and who is my lord? If it is The Lord, will my actions prove it? They can and must, so I force myself to say something, even if I think I'm going to sound like an imbecile. It is a constant reminder that I bring nothing to the table; it's a God thing.<BR/><BR/>I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again. This one of the fringe benefits of embracing reformed theology... It is not my job to convert, it is my job to tell what I know. And if I do, it counts as a victory, regardless of the sinner's response.<BR/><BR/><I>"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me."</I> Mt. 5:11<BR/><BR/>I hope I can be mature enough to embrace this Biblical blessing and not be a weenie, crippled by fear, afraid of his own shadow.Craver Viihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12882284402568264182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16790134.post-1158337554940102792006-09-15T12:25:00.000-04:002006-09-15T12:25:00.000-04:00What, everybody afraid to come outside?What, everybody afraid to come outside?Even So...https://www.blogger.com/profile/14208866122431178938noreply@blogger.com
