Unashamed Boldness!

Boldness is one awesome gift that the Holy Spirit empowers us with: unashamed boldness (Acts 1:8).  We have the conviction to SPEAK OUT and to STAND UP for what we believe is right and true and loving, and that’s why Christians must be bold in speaking out their faith unashamedly.

If you truly believe in something, it will show in the way you live and in your demeanor. Your belief becomes a CONVICTION of the heart and you stand by it. So the life of a Christian is a manifestation, an example of faith lived out. It will show the world Who you’re in love with! Most people will only believe the Bible if it’s bound in SHOE LEATHER. They will only believe it if you live it. Once your heart has been filled with the love of God, you want to do unto others as has been done unto you. You want others to also partake of His loving kindness. It goes further than telling them about God’s love. You can become the love of God expressed to them in many ways:  helping, listening, understanding, forgiving, teaching, nurturing, and guiding, and the list goes on.

Here’s the easiest way to start: Let’s COMMIT today to encourage EVERYONE We meet.
