The Concluding Remarks of My Second Book
I just finished writing the concluding remarks on my second book, How Beautiful are the Feet. It is a book that I wrote to encourage and equip people to share their faith in Christ. Pray God will use it for His glory. I still have an additional chapter to write that I have decided to put in the middle of the book and then it will be ready for editing. It still has a long way to go but I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel. Tell me what you think:
Plan of Attack
This book was not intended to teach you the technique of witnessing. Rather, it was intended to equip you with a biblical foundation of the gospel. It was also intended to give you a better understanding of the need of the gospel as well as the purpose of the gospel. There are droves of resources that will help you with techniques leading you to hone your skills and become a better witness for the Lord. We should never cease striving to be a better witness.
The greater purpose of this book is to equip you with the biblical foundation that you are responsible in sharing your faith, as is all Christians. My goal was to equip you and encourage you. My goal was to encourage you to stand up in your faith and be the bold witness God has called you to be. Lost people are in your path on a daily basis. Some may be extraordinarily close to you while others may be casual acquaintances. Now you have to ask yourself, “What am I going to do about it?” My hope is that you do the right thing, the thing that God has called you to do-preach the gospel.
You might not be the next D. L. Moody. But then again, you could be. You will never know until you step out in faith by being the witness God has called you to be. You may be the one that God uses to lead us into the next great awakening. At the same time, you may be one nobody will ever listen to. Isaiah was the man that nobody ever listened to. After Isaiah said “here am I Lord, send me,” God told him that no one would ever listen to him. He surrendered to God anyway. It’s not about numbers and results; it’s about faithfulness-faithfulness to God. If we spend the rest of our lives investing our full effort and energy into sharing the gospel and only one person ever says yes, our effort and energy was well worth their singular eternal decision.
The ball is now in your court. You have been equipped with an understanding of the gospel, an understanding of the lost, an understanding of your personal call to preach the gospel to all creation, and an understanding of how to be empowered to share the gospel. Now you have to figure out, who you will preach to, and how you will go about doing it. Those answers will only be found on your knees fully surrendered to an almighty God. Yet, the moment you say yes to God, yes that you will be obedient, God will open doors that no man can shut. You will be utterly amazed at what God does through you. Yes this world would be a phenomenally better place if every believer took seriously the call to do the work of an evangelist. Could you imagine? However, we are not responsible for everyone else. Every individual is responsible for themselves as you are only responsible for yourself and the choices you make. Therefore, will you choose to be obedient today and share the gospel? Don’t wonder what God can do through you-walk in what God can do through you.
“How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” Romans 10:14, 15 Rusty Kuhn
