During the 2012 Rural Ministry Conference from which I just returned, the statement was made by our main presenter that "We are all witnesses, whether we want to be or not. The question is, then, are we good witnesses or bad witnesses?"
What a wonderful nugget to chew on during my drive home into a stiff southern wind (not good for fuel efficiency as gas prices climb toward $4 gallon), and it really brought to light to me how we are all witnesses in every endeavor in life that we take. In how we answer the phone, speak to our children, offer assistance at the grocery store -- I could go on for a really long time, but the point is that throughout the day, on any given day, we have the opportunity to either reflect the power of Christ working through us or to use the opportunity to simply serve ourselves. It's one or the other; there's no middle ground.
You've been a witness today and you've been witnessed to today -- what has that meant for you?
Pastor Mark
