Front & Center

I've noticed that my involvement in witness for Jesus Christ correlates directly to the proportion of my prayer toward that end. If I begin the day thanking God for His amazing grace and consecrating it to the service of my Lord Jesus, then I am much more likey to have conversations for Christ and to look for them. It's almost as if I rise from the barracks and salute my Commander, reporting for duty. But duty is not drudgery because I believe in the cause, the gospel of life in Christ and the reality of His growing Kingdom. It seems nowadays that people are looking for a cause, something to commit themselves to, to pour themselves into, to lift up before the eyes of others. But what better cause can there be than the message of forgiveness of sins and eternal life in relationship with the living God through the living Christ?
