A great witness

We want to be a good witness - to God's greatness and salvation. How do we go about doing that huge and privileged task? Do we give up before even starting and just leave it to the preachers and evangelists - don't they have a special gift from God to do that very thing? "After all," we might say, "I give to the Billy Graham Association and pray for the missionaries on Sunday morning when I'm reminded..."

I love what Paul wrote in Philippians 2:14- 16  - "I will do all things without comlaining or arguing, so that I may become blameless and pure-- Your child, O God, without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom I shine as a light in the world, holding out the word of life." (Face to Face paraphrase, K. Boa)

Living "without fault" - that's some bright light! Imagine a whole day without complaining or arguing . . . all for the sake of showing off our Savior who went to the cross without a murmur.
