And that's okay. Jesus wasn't welcome everywhere, and neither should his followers be.

I was saved in August of 2003. At the time, I had been listening to a lot of Wretched Radio w/ Todd Friel. His Witness Wednesdays, wherein he used Ray Comfort's approach to evangelizing, using the Ten Commandments to help people recognize their need of a savior, was always a favorite of mine.

That Christmas, after the festivities at my sister-in-law's place had begun to die down, I saw an opening w/ my niece and nephew, both of whom were in their early teens at the time.

I took them through the Law, and they answered my questions, more out of genuine curiosity than anything else. Clearly, they had never heard the Gospel presented like this.

When I finished, my sister-in-law's husband told us that I would never again be allowed to share anything about my faith in his house again. I told my wife that, if Jesus wasn't welcome there, we weren't either. And so we left, my wife in tears.

Months later, I brought an olive branch to him and his wife, my sister-in-law, telling them that I meant no disrespect to either of them when sharing, and that I'll never do it again.

But despite the temporary heartache of that day, I was faithful to plant the seed of the Gospel in the minds and hearts of my nephew and niece that day.

There will always be a cost to sharing Jesus in this sin-cursed world. May we never fail in being faithful to share who He is with others.

Thanks for reading. Happy Easter!

If you need to self-censor, perhaps it is your turn to host the next religious holiday?

When people don't talk about the elephant in the room they would never have an open honest relationship with one another..then it becomes phony, superficial.. what are you gonna talk about? Weather, sports, what new diagnosis you all got from the doctors, latest pill or vitamin to try out, kids and school stuff, price of food and travels? .. everything ultimately leads back to the system designed by the DS cabal and the downfall of our society and societal indoctrination built in lies. So nothing we can talk about doesn't lead back to the flawed system Trump is trying to fix. Even relationship issues can lead back to flawed diets created by big pharma..
