Bible Note: First of all I toally agree with you in referrence to the tone of these notes. A lot of times they tend to come across harsher then intended. If I came across that way then my apologies, it was truly unintentional. As far as witnessing is concerned, I can only speak from my personal experiences. I find that there are a variety of reasons why Christians do not witness the way we should. But all these reasons have one common denominator, the adversary. If he could get us not to do the things that God would have us to do through fear, selfishness, time, or whatever the reason, then he has accomplish something. I have not always been crazy about sharing the things of God. There was a time when I wasn’t even interested in God. But through the Holy Spirit, God chaned all that. He wanted to use me in the circle I was in. He was willing to teach me the things I would need to know to accomplish His will. All He required from me was my willingness to be obedient. You ask me of any thoughts, well my thought is this, PRAYER, plain and simple. If we as Christians would ask the Father to make us the witnessness He would have us to be, He will honor that prayer. It is after all in accordance with His will. Besides, it worked for me. I am not on the spiritulal level I should be on, or even could be on, but I am willing. It also worked for Abraham, Isaac, Moses, and the rest of the prophets. Everyone was willing, no one was perfect, and God used each one in the compacity that they were in, and He equiped EVERYONE with what they needed to get the job done. What an awesome God we serve.
