SCRIPTURE: Psalms 27
-Wait on the Lord.
-A common response from people who aren’t courageous is “I had no choice”.
-Stop telling people you ran out of choices when the real issues is that you ran out of courage.
-Do what you are supposed to do at the time you are supposed to do it!
-Stop trying to wait until the last minute to share Christ with people. You never know how much time you do or do not have.
-Stop thinking that the only person that needs to be open is the one who is teaching the bible.
-Church is not the place to sleep. Church is not a place to play, it’s serious.
-Be open and honest with fellow believers in Christ.
-Your inability to talk to people about Christ is keeping you from having a deeper relationship with God and others.
-Stop avoiding the crucial conversations, they may be uncomfortable but they are necessary!
-It is your duty to speak up when things are not right.
-Forget “politically correct” the world wants you to be biblically incorrect.
-If a LOT of people like you, they might be liking you for the wrong reason…
-Telling the truth is vital for developing authentic relationships.
-People may hate you after having conversations with you but you can move on knowing you made a stand in Christ.
SCRIPTURE: James 1
SCRIPTURE: Acts 20
-We live among a lot of cowards, separate yourself.
-Although people often think that they should wait for the right time to confront others on their wrong doings you are actually hurting people by not telling them the truth.
-If the only time you do things for God is at Church then you are not a Christian.
SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 3
-People are pretty bold about their sins yet people who claim to be Christians are silent. Why is that?
-Be strong. We serve a mighty God, reflect that!
