The Good News is Too Good…

The Good News is Too Good to Keep to Yourself
It’s easy to show enthusiasm about many things—your favorite sports team, fresh-powder skiing, an amazing restaurant or a great movie—so why do we sometimes freeze when it comes to sharing our faith? Maybe you don’t want to come across as offensive or judgmental; maybe you are afraid to share because you fear you won’t have all the answers. But Jesus didn’t die for us so that we could keep that good news to ourselves; he died for the sins of the whole world, so that we might experience eternal and abundant life. You don’t need a bullhorn—you just need your own personal story or a simple act of loving service to start sharing your faith. So, whether it’s to your neighbor or to all ends of the earth, spread the news! Because the good news is too good to keep to yourself.
