Evangelizing Part 2

Our friends and family are just as important as the stranger on the street and there's a real need to evangelize to them also. either you convert them or they will convert you.
We've all heard the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together." This happens to be true, but the hardest thing to do is to convert a friend to Christ.  Thankfully the Bible even gives us instructions on this.
Romans 14:15 says,"But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died."Our ACTIONS matter!
What we do as Christians has an effect, whether good or bad, on those around us.
I have a friend that I saw once a week and I when she saw me one day after I had spent a week in the presence of the Lord and was renewed and refreshed she saw a big difference. Where she thought I had met a man and was in love, I shared with her that yes, I had met someone and was in love. When she told we she wanted what I had it opened the door for me to witness to her and I told her the man I was in love with was Jesus. This led her on her own journey to seek a relationship with Jesus.
Before that day she would have never heard the message I carried of the love of Jesus for all so it's very important that we carry ourselves in the beautiful, loving and humble image of Jesus. 

A part of Joshua 24:15 says, "as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
For family your ministry belongs at home first and foremost. Evangelism is a ministry. There is no ministry mode. Ministry is an always thing. It doesn't wait for you to leave your house to activate. It's a part of you and when you are at home you teach your family who God is and you teach them relationship with Jesus. If you don't do this the world will teach them their religion and you must remember that the world only serves darkness.
We are the carriers of the light of Christ. This does not make us holier than thou but it does make of light bringers. Jesus, who is the light of the world walked this earth sharing the light with us and He called us to do the same. We are all called to be witnesses whether at home or in the streets. We answer the call of evangelism in our hearts first and the we allow ourselves to be used wherever we are.
So let that be your prayer today. Lord use me, in my home and wherever I go. Use me to lead others to you.

Be blessed!
