Are you a Christian Seal or in the Silent Service for Christ

 Good morning all. God is good all the time all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

   In the Armed Forces we have the Rangers, the Green Berets, Navy Seals, and all of these individuals are trained for special services to do for their country.  Black ops, saving individuals from terrorists, and so forth.

  Well, in the Christian world we have Christian seals, AND Christian secret service.  Look in your Bible and see what it says.  Do it say light a candle and hide it under a bushel?  Do it say to keep your lamps out?  So, why don't more of us spread the gospel to the world.

   Here are some ideas why?  First, we may feel we lack the knowledge.  Well, you know, I can't quote scriptures very well and I don't memorize many scriptures.  To this I say Ba-hum-bug.  If God moves you to speak the Holy Spirit will give you the words.

   Second may be Apathy,  we are so caught up in the world around us and our own little world we "don't care about others salvation".  Oh, we may give lip service, but do we step up and step out and say something?  If we don't share the word of Jesus then we are basically saying: "You can go to hell, because I won't share the word". Scary!

   Third may be Fear.  I don't want to be ridiculed, or they may think less of me and my family, or blah-blah-blah.  We should not care what the world thinks of us, only what God thinks and are we in obedience to HIM.  Remember the song - Fear is a liar!!!!

  And last - Lack of Compassion, or the Loss of our First Love (Jesus) - We may have gotten so caught up in our own little world, family, friends, work, that we don't take time to remember what it was like when we did not have HOPE, the hope in Jesus.   Our fire for Jesus has gone luke warm and you know what Jesus said about being luke warm.  Be ye Hot or Cold, but if luke warm He will spit you from His mouth.  Where is your compassion?

   So, are you going to be in the silent service and keep the secret of Jesus as savior to yourself, OR, are you going to be a Christian Seal - train and go forth to share the saving grace of Jesus Christ? 

   Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
