The Gospel. To share or not to share?

So, have you ever known that you had the opportunity to share the gospel but you didn't for some selfish reason?  Maybe you did not want to take the time.  Maybe you were in a hurry.  Maybe you assumed that the person did not want to hear it.

I was recently reading "To the Glory of God" by James Montgomery Boice.  Read the following excerpt with me:

"Let me tell you one story of such a blessing.  In the year 1816 a Scotsman by the name of Robert Haldane went to Switzerland.  Haldane was was a godly layman who, with his brother James Alexander, had been much used of the Lord in Scotland.  In Geneva, on the particular occasion he was sitting on a park bench in a garden in the open air and heard a group of young men talking.  As he listened he realized two things.  First, these were theological students.  Second, they were ignorant of true Christianity.  As a result of this encounter and after a few encouraging conversations, Haldane invited the students to his room and began to teach them the book of Romans.  God honored this work, and the Holy Spirit blessed it by the conversions of these young men.  They were converted one by one, and in turn they were instrumental in a religious revival that not only affected Switzerland but also spread to France and the Netherlands" (Boice.  The Glory of God. p.28).

Think of how God could use your own conversations that you have with those around you!  Take time to share God's word with others.  Share the Gospel of the Bible.  Every person who is breathing needs it!

It has been a long time...

It has been a long time since i've blogged.  I think we can make it work though.  Perhaps this will be a great way to continue to share what is going on in my day to day life, but most importantly, I'd like to use this blog as a way to share with others about God's word.  So, join me won't you?
