Feb. 9- UA 23

If Satan is rejoicing over one invention in particular, I would bet it is the television.  These past few days I have gone on a modified media fast, and find I am getting more reading, praying and Bible study done than ever.  I did watch a bit last night and saw one story line about a friend sleeping with a best friend's date.  Another story line concerned itself with being in love with another man's wife and acting on those feelings before the woman was divorced.  A third show got the laugh track going discussing Charlie Sheen's love of hookers.  It is easy to see why some countries dislike the good ol' USA for our pop culture.  Sigh. . .  The good ol' days.

Enough with my neocon ravings.  On to UA 23.

The Unexpected Adventure- "Roadside Redemption"- 1 Corinthians 12:5-6

Mark Mittelberg tells a story of a friend he helped lead to Christ.  The interesting stuff in this chapter comes after the story.  

The Action Principle of the book is "Do Something".  Even if you are not ready to share your testimony with a friend or family member, you can loan a c.d, point him to a website, invite him to church or give him a good book.  But DO SOMETHING!  

Mark goes on to use some Biblical examples to illustrate his point.

Matthew wanted to share his new faith.  So he had a dinner party to introduce his new friends (Christ and the disciples) to his old crowd of tax collectors.  

The Samaritan woman at the well invited others to hear Christ speak, rather than try to share her new faith solo.

"While learning to share your faith, find ways to let other Christians supplement your efforts."  

What will I do today to share my faith?
