Frog in your throat?

"300 million years from now, what will be the only thing that will matter? Will it matter how much money you made? Will it matter what kind of car you drove?...Will it matter who you took to the homecoming dance? 300 million years from now, the ONLY thing that will matter is who is in heaven and who is in hell. And if that's the only thing that will matter then, that should be one of our greatest concerns now." - Mark Cahill, One thing you can't do in heaven, pg.11.

Last night at youth group we started talking about the study we will be doing from the book called "One thing you can't do in heaven." The goal from this entire study is to give you confidence and boldness to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone you come into contact with. Maybe you have someone on your mind who you know you need to give the gospel to, but when the time comes you get a frog in your throat and become too nervous, or maybe you don't know the words to say. Maybe you just don't want them to think of you negatively. Are you going to speak up or clam up? The next time you feel the urge from the Holy Spirit to share your faith with someone remember what Christ did for you on the cross. He did that same thing for them too, they just need to hear about it.

Romans 10:13-15 & 17 - "For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them unless they be sent? That is why the Scriptures say how beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news! So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the good news about Christ."
