“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek” (Romans 1:16).
I have been sharing an unusual witnessing situation I encountered years ago in which I led an elderly couple to Christ who had previously been members of an association that many would consider a cult. Both husband and wife truly came to know the Lord and were so very happy knowing their sins were forgiven and that they were truly on their way to Heaven to spend eternity with the Lord. Suddenly to our shock, the man died within a week or two of trusting Christ. Everyone assumed the cult leader would have the service. But listen to this. The lady proclaimed, “I have a new pastor because I now belong to my Savior. My new pastor will have the funeral.” Everything about this dear lady changed. By the way, the funeral home was filled wall-to-wall with the cultist members. I could almost feel the daggers coming from their eyes, but I had a great opportunity to share with them how Christ could change their lives as well. What gospel opportunities is the Lord bringing to you? I won’t use your name or identify you in any way, but I would love to share some of the gospel opportunities the Lord is bringing to you.

For today: Lord, please help us to be faithful in our witness today. Your gospel still changes lives.
