I think one of the single greatest factors keeping people from reaching their world is fear of other people’s opinions. If you are worried what others think of you, you just might never share the Good News with anyone.

When I was a teenager in Argentina, people used to openly attack us and insult us.  Once a visiting Bible teacher autographed my Bible and he put Revelation 2:10c, and it says, “Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life.”  I decided then and there that I’d be even willing to die for Christ, as well as being insulted for Him, based on that promise.  So all these years God has taken me to over 75 nations of the world, based on that promise:  “Be faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life.”  It’s been a good life.  I recommend it to you.

In Proverbs we are told, “The fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be kept safe.” How are you choosing to fear God and not man? How are you boldly reaching your world with the Good News of Jesus Christ? I’d love to hear how God is using you to reach your world. Email me your story at [email protected].
