Spread the Word

Christians, it’s time to come out of the closet!

If you call yourself a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, it’s time to be bold and courageous.

There are over 7,000 promises in God’s Word, the Bible, the handbook of instructions for our lives. It is full of love, truth and examples of how we should treat our fellow human beings, who are also made in God’s image.

However, it’s time to put on the full armor of God and get into the battle for the hearts and minds of those who have bought into the lies that are out there.

When you watch TV or pick up a newspaper, are you able to discern the lies from the truth? What is your point of reference when you decide which are the truths and which are the lies?

Since 1967, my reference point has been God’s Word, because it is unchanging and all powerful.

So, fellow believers, spread the Word. Come out of the closet and get involved any way you can. Such as, get out and vote, or get on a school board.

There are many opportunities for influencing what is happening in the world around you.
