Our Story

 

By the time we get to Exodus 7, God has already called Moses.

Moses resisted, but God would not be denied.

Exodus 7:1-2 (NRSVue) - The Lord said to Moses, “See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron shall be your prophet. You shall speak all that I command you, and your brother Aaron shall tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his land.

In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, Paul has a similar message.

2 Timothy 4:2 (NRSVue) - proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage with the utmost patience in teaching.

God has a similar mission for us.

We are to share the Good News with those whom we encounter.

And like Moses and Timothy, we are to do so clearly.

With God’s help, we can also do so confidently.

We may not be ordained ministers or missionaries, but this task falls to every believer.

Perhaps the best place to begin is with our own personal story.

Every believer is familiar with those moments when God changed their lives for the better.

That makes for a strong beginning.

Those who do not yet have a personal relationship with God need that kind of transformation.

As I have often said: On my best day I cannot save anyone.

But even on my worst day, I can introduce them to the One who can.
