Witnessing - The great panic

Who is your best friend? What is your favorite restaurant? How can you be so peaceful when the world is falling apart?To be honest, telling other people about the God who saved you and has planned eternity with Him is something people need to know.If Jesus Christ is Lord of your life, why do we sometimes struggle with telling others about it?Some people have the "gift of gab," where they find it so easy to strike up a conversation with people around them. Others become easily tongue-tied. Today, we talk about the wide spectrum of being a witness. And that's one of the main keys: Yes, we witness but according to the first chapter of Acts, we ARE witnesses. Therefore, our very lifestyle should be the loudest thing we say. But we also need to "be ready to give account for the hope that lies within us." 1 Peter 3:15. We don't need to be great apologists to share our own story. And if questions come up that are difficult to answer, "I don't know, but I know someone who can answer that question" is a valid response. Most importantly, we don't witness on our own power or wisdom. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is the one who opens the doors and gives us the words to say. We just need to be willing to take the opportunity and open our mouths.People need "Jesus with skin on."
