"For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel - not with clever words, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect"
-- 1 Corinthians 1:17 / HCSB

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul offers a message to believers of every generation when he writes, "God has not given us a spirit of timidity." Paul's meaning is crystal clear: When sharing our testimony, we, as Christians, must be courageous, forthright and unashamed.
We live in a world that desperately needs the healing message of Christ Jesus. Every believer, each in his or her own way, bears a personal responsibility for sharing the message. If you are a believer in Christ, you know how He has touched your heart and changed your life. Now it is your turn to share the Good News with others. And remember: today is the perfect time to share your testimony because tomorrow may quite simply be too late.

Lord, the life that we live and the words that we speak will tell the world how we feel about You. Today and every day, let our testimony be worthy of You. Let our words be sure and true, and let our actions point others to You.
