Day 2So yesterday was a tough day for me. Not because of work or family or anything like that, it was because I felt what it was going to feel like to be persecuted for my witness. It felt really bad. You see, someone rejected my witness (via my text) and said, “practice what you preach before you preach”. That cut me deep and wide...But then I leaned on a few I look to in my spiritual walk and they assured me I was on the right path. But I want to be clear the path I am on with my messages. My intent is not to “preach”. I am not a holy man, I am a flawed man but a forgiven man. You see my goal is through my own testimony and study, that I share things that make an impact on me in the hopes that you may enjoy it as well. Sometimes I may find a message that is impactful, maybe not. But what ultimately this is doing is holding me accountable to my own walk with Christ and keeping me in the word. So tonight as I read Mathew 11:28, “Come to me, all you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest...” I am here to say that I needed that. As I try and wade through the muck of everyday life and the ball and chain of a checkered past, I am reminded to seek the Lord and lay my worries on him. He delivered me from a path of doom to a life I cherish so much. I am grateful for my forgiveness and moved to forgive as I lay my burdens aside. Maybe you’re carrying some weight you could unload? The Lord has the biggest shoulders of all!Have a great day!

Attraction, Not Promotion
How exactly are we an effective witness? Like a branch drawing life from the vine, we grow so the fruit we bear points back to Jesus. Attraction, not promotion.

Street Cred
Our trials build credibility in our testimony, street cred in Christ. You wouldn't take flying lessons from someone who's never been in the cockpit. Paul wrote about standing firm from a prison cell.

Doers, Not Just Hearers
Many people walk away from church because they think Christians are hypocrites. Hypocritical moments happen, but a hypocritical lifestyle is a problem. Let's be doers, not just hearers.
