Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cSo he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly<\/em> in the name of the Lord.\u201d (Acts 9:28 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARRESIAZOMAI (3955): <\/strong>\u201cTo be frank in utterance or confidence in spirit and demeanor.  This word means \u201cto speak boldly, or freely,\u201d and primarily had reference to speech, but acquired the meaning of \u201cbeing bold, or waxing bold.\u201d[I]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speak freely.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saul, not yet Paul, can\u2019t stop telling people about Jesus.  After experiencing a blinding light that caused Saul to fall to his knees, changing his entire perspective on God, he\u2019s got a lot to tell.  When God moves in our lives, we can\u2019t help but talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saul\u2019s experience on the road to Damascus doesn\u2019t happen every day.  However, God\u2019s constantly working; if we seek, we will find.  And when we discover God\u2019s activity, we can\u2019t help but talk about it, just like Saul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell the love story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first started WW in my thirties, I lost 60 pounds in 8 months.  Every where I went, I talked about losing weight, eating the proper foods, etc.   My love of the program changed my life drastically, just like Jesus does, and I wanted everyone to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talking about my weight loss journey came easy because I loved the results.  Saul\u2019s telling his love story with Jesus.  How they met and how it changed his life.  Sharing with others our love story with Christ helps us speak boldly about Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every morning, when I read God\u2019s word, I begin again.  Whatever troubles I face, I know God\u2019s with me.  When Jesus gives me glimpses of His work, it invigorates my heart.  I love God more each day as I place more faith in Him.  Somehow, someway, God always spurs me on at the right moment, helping me keep going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And He will do the same for you.\u00a0 Life in Christ gives you a lot to talk about to others.\u00a0 Go all in with Christ, and make Him a top priority in your life.\u00a0 Watch as Jesus amazes you with the work He does in your life and those around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
