What is your witness?
When a person can be seen for who he is and heard for who he is and observed for who he is, that witness will speak better than the keyboard.
He is a sinner, no matter how nice he is and unless he can tell them he is saved by the grace of God.. his witness is empty
He will help me to give a silent witness that will attract, rather than to be rebuking and preaching.
It will be a silent witness to you, not to Christ...
How will they know anything about Jesus Christ if all they do is observe you? How will the know that He was God incarnate? That He died for the sin of men?Or that He is the only way to be saved?
There are wonderful Buddhists that will burn in hell ...
Rom 10:14 ¶ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
“What is your witness?”
I live it as I see myself called by the Lord—and no one else.
No TRUE witness is ever “empty”.
And it is only the Lord who knows for sure what is true witness that is pleasing to Him. The ripple effect of all true witness is something no mere human can judge accurately.
“It will be a silent witness to you, not to Christ...”
How in the name of heaven can you know that?
Jesus tells us what we must be because what we are determines what we will do.
It’s best to think less about what we should do, and more about what we ought to be.
If I am called to be the type of “witness” Jesus asks of me, it’s because He who created me knows how I am made and what I can do best, with the help of His grace, to help bring about His Kingdom.
No one but the Lord is qualified to know what kind of witness He asks of me.
You ask many questions.
Really? What is the witness of a governor who professes her faith yet her biggest supporter has made his fortune slaughtering the unborn?
What is the witness of a pastor who not only condones same sex marriage but is in one?
What is the witness of the baseball player who runs the local praise and worship yet, engages in illegal substance use and perjury?
These people will all tell you Christ is their saviour but their silent witness tells you something vastly different.

America's preachers of the latter 20th century, rogues and heroes. Is their witness to Christ in their words primarily or in their lives? A lot of people can say the words and do more damage to the cause of Christ than if they'd never let the name of Jesus pass their lips.
Are we ALL called to nag people for Jesus? Is ANYONE called to nag people for Jesus?
