PSALMS AND REVELATIONS
Isn't it funny how sometimes we overlook the obvious? There are psalms, but the book is Psalm. It's the same with the book of Revelation, though of course John received revelations. I guess it's not too important, but as Christians, we can't be too careful. We don't want someone to not hear the message because we messed up.
That used to be a real fear of mine. If I say the wrong thing, if I push a non-believer too far, if I make him feel uncomfortable, if I somehow elevate my religious status, then just maybe I've kept him out of the kingdom. What I omitted is that I don't dictate who is in the kingdom by what I do or don't do: it's the Holy Spirit in his life.
Now while that may not be entirely correct when I disavow my importance. I must be salt and light to the world. I must not make another stumble by my actions. I may just illuminate enough to make another want what I have--that is peace, love, joy , patience...(Gal 5:22-23). But if I fail in my attempt to help win one to Christ, I'm sure that God will send another to witness to him. Just as in my life, He put just the right people at just the right time for me. He's God. That's what He does best. I mean besides creating, loving, forgiving, ...(The Holy Bible).
We simply can never praise Him enough. And if we have trouble in our evangelical efforts, we can always simply give our testimony of what God has done in our lives. No one can refute or deny that. It's something we must share. Something that we must give away.
