New Year's Eve thoughts

I deleted my last post, from a day or two ago. I was feeling a little down because I am beginning to feel the effects of what I've been doing. My "friends"...the unsaved ones, aren't too pleased with what I do and have been excluding me from invitations to things. It hurt at first and I was feeling sorry for myself. And then I was listening to a Last Words podcast and they talked briefly about the persecuted church. That puts it all entirely into perspective. We have it so easy here. We can evangelize with no threat of jail or death.

We persevere, knowing the cost...knowing that our cost is so much less than the cost for someone in say...Nepal, or China.

We just carry on because we love God and we love people.

About Me

My photo
I am a born again Christian (there is no other kind) who is passionate about the gospel. I believe in the basic evangelism principles of "Law to the proud and Grace to the humble". I seek to share the gospel wherever my Lord takes me. I am seeking to connect with others who are eager to share the Law and the Gospel in various places around north Vancouver Island, Way of the Master style. Yes, it is scary...but it is effective. We are commanded to share the good news of the Gospel and if we love God and if we love people, we MUST share our faith in a BIBLICAL manner...just like Jesus did! I thought that because I was heavily involved in my church, attended regularly, tithed, and I BELIEVED in Jesus that I was saved! There is much more to it. I had not repented (turned from) my sin. As soon as I realized that I was a wretched blob of filth, I fell to my knees, repented and put my life in the hands of Jesus. I can feel God's transforming presence daily in my life. I am excited about each day and what new opportunities it may bring. If you are interested in teaming up for some evangelism activities, please email me: shutterkat@gmail.com
