⁸ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8 ESV)

How involved are you in the business of spreading God’s word?

I know, the question puts you on the spot and may make you uncomfortable. But it is a question we should ask ourselves none the less. We are to be about the Father’s business and we are given the Holy Spirit to allow us lay-ministers to do exactly that…minister.

Now, I get it, you may not feel up to the task and it may not be how you “like” to serve. But it is something we are all called on to do, based on how God has gifted you to do so. It is far too easy to bury our heads in the sand and just let others do the work. God does not call us all onto the mission field, but He does call us all to the mission of telling others about the Good News.

Reflect on:m The real question is how will you carry out this mission? How involved are you willing to be?
