Fish with Trish

For those of you familiar with The Way of the Master, you might know who Trisha Ramos is. She is in some of their videos on Evangelism and has a blog you can check out here. She shares a story about Charles Spurgeon's sermon on Christmas. At the end of his sermon he encourages everybody to share Christ on Christmas with their loved ones.....here are a few points:

■Christmas is suited for sharing the gospel with family and friends.

■Aim to share the story of God’s grace in your life.

■By sharing we edify believers.

■By sharing we reach lost friends and family.

■Be alert for one-on-one opportunities to share your story.

■Don’t expect this sharing to be easy.

■Overcome this fear by sharing to honor your Savior.

■Share your story with gratitude to God.

■Share your story with humility.

■Share your story truthfully—don’t embellish it.

■Tell your story seriously—don’t share it flippantly.

■Don’t neglect your personal devotions during Christmas.

■Rest upon the Holy Spirit’s help to share.

■Remember that this story you share over the holidays is the story that will be on your lips eternally.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
