A Strong Witness for The Lord
Ruth the moabite woman in the bible was so sold out to stay with her mother in-law because of their relationship. Her mother in-law Naomi was old at this time, and concerned about Ruth finding a husband. Because of the kindness of the mother in law, Ruth stated, I will go where you go, and my God will be your God. We can win people over to Christ simply by being kind and caring. Others will want to know what makes you tick. What is it about you that I’m so attached to. The kindness and caring heart can win people to the Lord without a word spoken about Jesus. People will see our kindness and our caring heart and want that for themselves. But we as Christians must get to the point of having these great God qualities operating in us daily. Developing the habit of kindness, because some days we are not that at all (those are the days you keep quiet). There are people who will not set foot in the church for whatever reasons. As we walk in our God given purpose and destiny, we have the opportunity to help grow God’s family. The witness of our lives, should be how we carry ourselves under pressure, and through trouble. This is the church gone mobile, which is the great commission to all God’s people. We are the church, the brick and mortar building is not. Ruth said, your people will be my people. Ruth was sold out on accepting her mother in-law’s religion, and the people who associate with it. Now that’s a strong witness for the Lord.
