4. Remaining BOLD in preaching the
gospel
“…that words may be given to me
in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I
am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.”
(Ephesians 6: 19-20)
When we went hut to hut to share
the gospel, there was so much urgency, boldness and passion in my heart. I know
it’s harder to do in the place you live, but it’s so important to have the same
passion and urgency for the gospel in the place God has called you to long
term. I was in Haiti for a week, but I will be in Lubbock for four or so years.
I pray I can have the same urgency for the gospel here as I did in Haiti. With
the courage of the Spirit, I can overcome uncomfortable situations and the awkwardness
of going up to random people and sharing the most important news they’ll ever
hear.
PREACH THE GOSPEL AND DIE.
Nothing else matters when I’m
bones in the ground. Eternal matters are at stake. God is READY to claim His victory
over Texas Tech and all the darkest corners of the earth.
It is not by our eloquent, crafty
words that people will come to know the living God, but by the love of Christ,
which is in us, pouring out all over this campus. May we share the good news that
saved us with boldness, as we ought to, and may the living God resurrect dead
hearts from the grave.
“And behold, the curtain of the
temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks
were split. The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had
fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection,
they went into the holy city and appeared to many.” (Matthew 27:51-53)
Saints, we have been risen with
Christ! Let go and tell all of His goodness.
"When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, 'It is finished,' and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." (John 19:30 emphasis added)
