“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Chances are, nearly every week we encounter someone who is ready to hear the hope of God’s love and salvation, but we feel intimidated into staying silent. We worry about social pressures, and about what to say: How do I start? Can I answer their questions? How do I explain the Gospel? What if I make them upset?

The Bible reveals two truths:

1) How people respond is God’s responsibility. (John 6:44)

2) If you simply prepare your heart, God will do the rest. (1 Pet 3:15, 2 Tim 4:2)

As Christians, we really have no other purpose for being here. If our calling isn’t to help others, then God would just take us home as soon as we believed in Jesus. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:16

Each article I post will talk about some of the discussions I’ve had with people in my street-witnessing ministry, but more importantly, in my everyday encounters. And just like you, I get busy, I don’t want to bother, I get intimidated in certain situations, and get shut down by family and friends—I hold back too.

But this website is about being real, sharing some simple insights, and being willing (at least some of the time) to be used by God—especially when you sense His little nudge.

As we take this journey, I encourage you to join the conversation and share some of your own encounters and wisdom learned.

From time to time, I will also post some of my Short Stories for you to enjoy and share for free, so be sure to look for those as well.

I pray God’s blessings to you for coming on this faith-journey with me. I am confident that the Lord will help us all grow and learn together.

All blessings in Him!
