It’s foolishness to you. Life changing for others.

The Conversation.

Good Morning G,
I just wanna thank you for being God and saving my life.
Thank you for dying on the cross and giving me chance to live right even though we always fall short.
I thank you for protecting my family and bringing us thus far. In Jesus name🙏🏽

The Affirmation...

My testimony maybe foolish to others but it’s a tool to God.

“So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭NIV‬

The Wisdom of “Foolish” Words

Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:18-20
I know very well how foolish the message of the cross sounds to those who are on the road to destruction. 1 Corinthians 1:18

CHECK OUT these statements from insurance forms-forms where drivers had to de­scribe the details of their car accident in the fewest words possible.
  • Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have.
  • A truck backed through my windshield and into my wife’s face.
  • The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
  • I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
  • To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck a pedestrian.
  • An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
  • I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
  • I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
  • The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran over him.
  • The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
​
Think about this: Sometimes your explanations of Christ and what he has done in your life will sound just as weird to non-Christians as those statements sound to an insurance company-and to us. You claim that Jesus Christ was the Son of God, and people blow you off. You invite people to trust Christ and experience his life changing power in their lives, and they laugh at you. You explain what God has done in your life, and they insist that you’re over-emotionalizing your religion.

You want your non-Christian friends to welcome your life-giving witness, but don’t be totally disheartened if they don’t. You never know how the Holy Spirit will use your words. And no matter how people react to what you say, you are sharing God’s utter wisdom. Give God time to take your words to the heart, where they will make a real difference.

REFLECT: How can you explain to your non-Christian friends what Christ has done in your life?

PRAY: Ask God for courage to share how you got to know him-even when you fear your friends might mock you.

    The Daily Sign-up

Matt 16:18-20 (msg)
And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out. 19 “And that’s not all. You will have complete and free access to God’s kingdom, keys to open any and every door: no more barriers between heaven and earth, earth and heaven. A yes on earth is yes in heaven. A no on earth is no in heaven.” 20 He swore the disciples to secrecy. He made them promise they would tell no one that he was the Messiah..
