You Can't Give What You Don't Have.

This past Sunday, our sister Joann spoke on the challenges we face in presenting the gospel across cultures and people groups. One of the more pressing challenges concerns authenticity. Let's recap a couple of the questions we reflected on:

-Do we really believe Jesus's testimony that He is the ONLY way to the Father?
-Have we personally confessed our sin and accepted God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ?

As Sister Joann said, we cannot offer a gift that is not in our possession. We can share the love of Jesus only in the measure that we ourselves have embraced His sacrifice and experienced His presence in our lives.

Lord, help us to be fully convinced of our standing in You, so that we in full confidence can stand up for You.
