Could you guys tell me what I need to change or add?

A Witness of the Light.

There was a man that could not talk, so he would have to converse by pointing at different letters laid out on his wheelchair. We will just call him Joe. The preacher who taught Joe, patiently answered his voiceless questions. At the end of the Bible studies Joe became a Christian, and he told the pastor, “I want to teach a Bible study.” So some friends wheeled Joe to peoples’ doors, and Joe would point out the letters that spelled, “Can I teach you a Bible study?” Many people said, “No I am to busy” or entirely ignored him, but one couple came outside and they said, “Yes you can”. So the couple got taught a 12-week Bible study by Joe, a man who took 5minutes to spell one sentence. The couple became Christians also....

John 1: 6-8 (KJV) “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.” Do you think if Joe could be a witness of the light that maybe we could take some time to witness?

First of all, It is a Christian’s obligation to testify about Christ. The Bible says “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” That doesn’t mean you have to go to Africa and spend your whole life as a missionary. Now of course if God calls you to do something like that, then do it. But can’t we at least start by taking a little time to witness to people in our city or where we work? Just think, half the people in this world will never have the chance of hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ unless we tell them. It doesn’t have to be knocking on doors and teaching Bible studies all day; you can start with something small like showing love. But there’s one more important thing you need to understand.

God wants everyone to go to heaven. Everyone is so very important to him, and they should be important to you and me. It seems so much now that Christians reject or at least ignore new people who come to their church. They stay away from the people because they are not saved or they just happened to see them at the bar last night when they were driving by. The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God.” Why sometimes is it easier for us to hate the sinner and not hate the sin? If Christ died for all the sinners in the world so that they could be saved and live with him for eternity, then we should start telling them about Christ. Now I know that phrase that keeps popping up in your head.

After all I have said your still probably thinking, “ I am too busy,” or “I do not have the time to witness”. Look I agree with you 150%. I really am to busy, I have school, homework, I have things to do at church like: PowerPoint or singing, I have Chores, and, come on, I have to have some time for friends. Yes, I would agree with the much too familiar American excuse “I am too busy”. But can you say you have never had a day where you just lie around being bored, listening to music for a couple hours, watching TV, playing your guitar. I have had days where I will sit and practice my guitar until my fingers are purple. But what if, instead of watching TV all day you stood in front of a store helping people carry out their bags? Besides demonstrating God’s love for others, you might make a good friend!

I think if Joe, the man who couldn’t talk, could take the time to witness; then we should be able to take the time to tell others about Christ. What I mean is: What if everyone told one person about Jesus? Think about that... what a different world we would have.

There it would be...... If you could help me.... That would be grrrreat!
