2 tips for witnessing in the everyday…

We often think our testimony is the story we have when we first came to Christ. Many Christians find their story boring or not worth telling because they have always been a Christian and always loved Jesus.

• TIP #1:   Share what it is like to live as a Christian:
• Ask yourself regularly ‘how does my faith in Jesus put perspective on my everyday activities and attitudes’?

• TIP #2:  Be honest about the joys, the struggles, & the benefits
• Ask yourself regularly ‘What is God teaching me through this experience?’

Example from my life…

“I’m learning lots about myself lately… I’ve realised that pride is a massive issue for me? And I hate it… You see, I was encouraged by some friends to “think” about a boy as “potential” but I found ti so hard to consider it because I thought I was better than him and that he would be batting far above his average. Turned out this guy and I became good friends and I began to crush on him, only to be turned down by him, cause he didn’t like me. I was hurt, insulted and so humiliated: to be turned down by someone you think you are better than. This attitude stinks… pride is disgusting. What makes me better than someone anyway. Yuck. Pride is really quite ugly!”

I used this experience to show my unbelieving friends my sin. They thought I had every right to think of myself better than others, and thought I was being too harsh on myself. But God hates pride, it’s ugly. Great oppotunity to speak gospel truth in the everyday.
