Mar. 24- UA 41

2 Corinthians 9:6  6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.


The Unexpected Adventure- Ripple Effects- 2 Corinthians 9:6

Action Principle-  We don't know the "ripple effect" our witnessing may have.  The chapter tells about the conversion of one person, Wendy, who goes on to share the Gospel with first this person then that one.  One person she helps lead to Christ becomes a worship leader in a small church.  That person then is in a position to share Christ's message to many others, who in turn may share with others, so on and so forth.  The point being that even if we only witness to a few people, they may extend our witnessing efforts by telling their friends and family members about Christ.

Mark uses Jesus Christ as an example.  By today's standards, Jesus didn't speak to large numbers of people.  No television specials, no radio "Hour of Power", no web presence, yet His message has changed the course of human history.  Our duty as Christians is to obediently share the Gospel message with those around us.  There is no way to tell how far-reaching the effects may be.

Tomorrow will be the last day for the Unexpected Adventure.  I am bit nervous.  I don't do well with quiet time without a text for study.  Any ideas for another blog book?  Maybe God wants me to be "bookless" right now.  Perhaps prayer and meditation are the next order of business for me.
