Have you been beaten up or persecuted for Christ lately? Have you been falsely accused? The early church faced these situations on a daily basis! They were hauled before the Sanhedrin for sharing the “Good News” about Jesus. I imagine they thought they were going to die. But, they didn’t! When faced with these situations they said, “We cannot but speak of the things that we have heard and seen!” You know we should feel the same way about Jesus. We should be like the early church in this sense. They felt compelled to speak for Christ and the Gospel. Silence was not an option. And silence is not an option for us as well! Let’s all look for opportunities to speak a good, clear word for Christ! Let’s look for open doors to share our faith! We all have these opportunities. So join me and let’s tell someone about Jesus today!

Acts 4:20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

ENGAGE 2017 is just ahead! The full schedule for ENGAGE 2017 will be available on Sunday. It will also be online at gracechurchnc.com. The conference begins on Friday, November 3 with a “free dinner” for everyone attending. Take advantage of this “free dinner” and invite your family and friends. You can sign-up online at gracechurchnc.com. We have to know how much food to prepare, so do this as soon as possible. This year’s conference is going to be “family friendly” as well as “kid friendly.” Make time to pray for ENGAGE 2017 with your family! Ask the Lord to speak to your heart and to theirs as well. As we submit to the Lord He will work in our lives! Let’s do this together! God bless you!

Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord. Your faithfulness to Christ makes an eternal difference! You may not realize it, but people are watching you and me. Let’s show them Jesus! Let them see Jesus in you! As we make much of Him, He will draw folks to Himself!

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.

Commitment: Christ Above All!
