You need to say what you believe.

You need to say what you believe.

 We’re not keeping this quiet, not on your life. Just like the psalmist who wrote, “I believed it, so I said it,” we say what we believe. And what we believe is that the One who raised up the Master Jesus will just as certainly raise us up with you, alive. Every detail works to your advantage and to God’s glory: more and more grace, more and more people, more and more praise! (2 Corinthians 4:13-15)

Our walk with Christ is an everyday, 24/7 event. That means you don’t just take Him, or as some people may think, meet Him at Church on Sunday’s. If you are a believer and have asked Jesus into your life to be your Salvation, He is with you always. That means you are a walking testimony to the death and resurrection of Jesus all the time. Every minute. You don’t have to be perfect. Its not you that you are presenting. ‘More and more grace (for your imperfections and display Gods power), more and more people (the people you share Jesus with), more and more praise (for Jesus by the people you have shared your faith with for what He has done, doing and will do).

Recently God has made me acutely aware through the death of two men that I knew in high school that this Good News that we have is a matter of life and death. This isn’t a popularity contest. This isn’t a game. It isn’t about the numbers of people who you can convert. This is about the love and eternal life that God has for people.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” John 3:16-17.

If I could encourage you to do anything today, it would be to pray for the people who are in your life. Your family, your children, your wife, husband, friends, work colleagues, even people you dislike. Any one and everyone. If you need to forgive any body, forgive them. Jesus forgave you. Don’t let your judgment of their actions stand in the way of Jesus.

So say what you believe and know to be true about Jesus. Don’t be afraid to share Him. Share Him in love, respect and with humility, presenting what He did on the cross for every body and the truth of the resurrection that gives life to those who believe to everybody you meet and know.  


I will be praying that Jesus uses me more and more and that I have the courage to share Him in whatever way, when ever I can.

Please remember to comment and share!

Santa v Jesus.

By -
It's Christmas time. When Santa decides if you get something good depending on whether you have been naughty or nice...... I read an article recently, titled " 10 men Christian women should never marry " on a friends Facebook page and was relieved that my wife did not read this before she married me. If there is one thing I know for sure it's that I did not deserve a woman like my wife. She is a believer and loves Jesus. She has been picky and protective over herself about which men to date and not to date. She is everything and more that I asked God for in a woman. She looks after me and loves me to the max, always doing things for me and thinking of how to bless me in our marriage.

This is your moment.

 God has always shown me a picture (it is a picture to illustrate only) of Him in heaven before I was born and he is getting me off the shelf to put me on earth. He looks at the shelf which has a lot of other people on it and asks Himself “'What does the world need now? Ah Ha! What I created in Jay. He has in him what the world needs”.  And He picks me off the shelf and puts me in the womb.  You have been created and hand-picked for this moment. God cares so much for the people you meet and know that He sent you to make a difference in this world. You are made for this time. He chose you to dwell in. He is not far from you, He is so close. He lives in you. You are made for this moment. Don't hold back. Psalm 139:14The Message (MSG)   and Jeremiah 1:5, Eph 1:4 13-16  Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;     you formed me in my mother’s womb. I thank you, High God—you’re breathtaking!    ...

“When you’re tempted to give up, I choose love.” I heard this song today. It had the above line in it. It really hit home for me. The song was about someone who was at the end of their rope. Had enough. Couldn’t do life any more.   And the singer is saying choose love when you’re wanting to give up. This perplexed me a little. On one hand the person wanting to give up is saying ‘I cant do anything more with my life.’ And the singer is saying, ‘make one more choice, choose….. Love.’ This meant a lot to me as I wanted to give up myself on my dreams and aspirations. As I heard this, the picture I got was of me falling back into God’s arms and relaxing.   I thought ‘That’s strange’. We are so ‘works’ based as the human race. Do, do, do. To get love, do something. Well today I choose to let go of doing. My Father in Heaven is just that, He’s my Father. He loves me so much. He will never stop loving me because I loose my faith in my own abilities. This was the s...
