SCRIPTURE: Proverbs 25
-Are you courageous now? We’ve been talking about it for weeks now has it set in with you yet?

-Stop sitting on the sideline in life, get in the game! Make a stance for Christ!
SCRIPTURE: Ezekiel 3
-You may not always know exactly what to say but it is your responsibility to speak up if you see evil going on around you.
-Do what YOU are supposed to do, stop always waiting for someone else to stand first for the right cause. You be the difference maker.
-It’s time to stop making excuses.
-Too many people that consider themselves Christians have completely let go of their responsibilities in Christ.
-Sometimes it’s a bad thing if people remember you for what you didn’t say as opposed to what you did.
-Just because other folks let you get away with your sin does not mean that you are free from you iniquity.

-Don’t let fear keep you from talking about your relationship with Christ to other people.

-Don’t just believe that you can sneak into heaven solely through a baptism.
-If you cannot talk to your close acquaintances about Jesus…then how can you truly call them your friends?
-You should be able to talk to anybody about Jesus, whether it’s your brother, mother, friend, father, etc.
-If you’re waiting for an accidental conversation about Jesus, truth is you might not get it. Have an agenda to bring God into the conversation.
-Share your heart and love with others, it not helps others but it makes you better as well.
-Take a stand, don’t be a coward.
