Share Your Faith

Did you know there are times when some people may depend on your relationship with God? Most pastors are aware of this truth. Pastors want their congregation to know that they have a good relationship with God. This is why many people will come to their pastor and share a personal concern, thinking and hoping their pastor may have a better relationship then themselves with God. This also is not uncommon. Especially for those who are not as mature in their faith as they would like to be. Some parents share such experiences with their children, the same as some pastors with their congregants, who may not be as mature in their faith at the present. It is a personal, private and most intimate time of sharing. A pastor will not only hear and receive the petition, but will also take this precious moment to teach the congregant (as well as the loving parent with the child) how to go before Holy Father for them self. The Scriptures says: "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Teach a child how to pray by praying with him or her. In our church family, some will say "Pray for me." Don't just say “I will,” but say "Let's pray together." In such intimacy, we share our faith. After two thousand years, some Christians may still think they do not know how to pray. That is nothing to be ashamed of and God already knows your heart. But what is important is to bring two or three together in the name of Jesus to pray with each other. Even if you are not physically together, you can still share such a moment with each other by phone. Remember, Christ is the bridge to make the connection. There are so many people in so many places who needs prayer. Share your faith with someone. It's a Beautiful Thing!
