Right, Goowz,
I think that was his point of the radio program, to learn how to normally engage others in conversation, but to look for an opening in sharing something that would open up the conversation to being able to share more about Jesus and the gospel. You hit the nail on the head.
Thanks for your post, it really helps!
Wow, that was so me. I was saved at 25 and all I wanted to do was to listen to the older folks that taught the word.
I didn't want to talk to other women about formulas and diapers, not that there's anything wrong with that
, but I just wanted to talk about the Lord and the word and I wanted to absorb all I could as fast as I could. I think right now in my life I feel pretty useless. Having health issues makes me feel like I waste each day because there's not much I can do. I will think it or say it to myself out loud, "another wasted day."
BUT, the Lord continues to remind me that I'm not useless, but it's a battle that I'm still engaging in. I'm listening to the enemy and need to stop it. Every day is precious and by saying it's a wasted day, I'm telling God that He's not enough.
Maybe that's why for me, I need to do things intentionally or I'll give in to the pain and forget that I do have purpose and my life is not wasted. Thanks again for sharing.
Health issues will come and we all will face whats now our purpose in life. No matter what we all probably have a circle of influence we can connect with. Rather it be social media or the Drs and nurses. Shoot through social media now you can also influence someone on the other side of the world.
Your mission is far from over. You are very right. Dont let satan put a basket over your light. But let it shine.
Great idea! He mentioned having a bible with you and having the person read a bible passage that you would normally read to them or tell them.
That way they're hearing God's word themselves with their own voice. He said that can be pretty powerful.
Yeah, if you're walking into temptation that you can't handle, you could go to a restaurant without alcohol to do the same thing.

I agree thats why I chose this idea because drinking to me makes me sick. I never have liked drinking. I like filling my stomach on food not liquid. Lol
Thanks so much for the encouragement and the boost up.
We are witnesses wherever we go, and sometimes more when we don't even know we're being used.
It is important to know the word. I had a friend who said she wanted to be like a certain Christian woman whose a well known teacher within the Christian community.
I know we shouldn't strive to be like others, but when she said that I didn't know what to say to her. My first thought was that we want a lot of things in life, but we have to put time into lots of study and prayer.......many are not willing to do this.

The end of my great grandmothers life was very impacting on my life. She lived to be 98 and I was in my early teens when she passed.
I do not have a lot of memories of her being, well who her old personality was because she started to have Alzheimers when I actually got old enough to talk to her in a meaningful way.
But oh my goodness she definitely put the fear of God in me a few times lol.
But her last days someone told me all she wanted to do was go to church because she had grown too weak and sick to go. She was the type ready to see Jesus.
She didn't know it but that was impactful to me. To see such great faith. All she wanted to be was as close to Jesus as possible until she was able to be with Jesus.

I've experienced something similar a couple of times. I call them "divine appointments"!!!
Absolutely!
The last "appointment" we ended up talking for several hours, through until around 3am, as a lot of questions came up. Before the conversation I was super tired, but I stayed and my tiredness seemed to quickly fade too.
I usually read scripture online when traveling, but I happened to have my bible with me, and so I gave them my bible to keep. It seems I packed it because it was meant for them I left the conversation on a major spiritual high, and it was difficult to sleep after that!
