A Faith Worth Sharing

I just finished a great read that Roy recommended. "A Faith Worth Sharing" by Jack Miller has brought so much encouragement to my heart and I was blown away immensely by his stories of boldness and faithfulness as he spent his life sharing the Gospel with anyone and everyone. Oh to have that hope and love Christ so much that there is no stone left unturned, no heart left untouched.





The ways God chose to use Jack are incredible! I often ponder what keeps me from such faith and belief that God can use me in incredible ways as well. There is a significant amount of doubt bottled up within me that keeps me from being fully committed to Christ and His ways. As I read these stories I even found myself believing that God could use Jack but I'm not as outgoing as he was or brave, so why would He use someone so weak like me? I could make excuses until I am blue in the faith, but truth be told, I don't believe Christ can or will use me. I am plagued with doubt.

The truth of the matter is, there is nothing too difficult for our Creator. I even think of the people He chose to use... uneducated fisherman, timid Timothy, stuttering Moses. He uses the most unlikely people to do the unthinkable.

Please join me in praying for boldness and for a love of the Gospel that makes me long to share this truth with anyone and everyone.

I highly recommend this book. It is a quick read, but it will encourage your socks off and hopefully lead you to move out and possess a faith worth sharing.
