Ready?

Wow. I've come across a number of blogs where believers talk about our faith in God. Just take a look at the comments from other people, pretty hardcore!

It makes me wonder, if I were placed in a position to stand up for God, would I be ready? Would I only have a few weak statements that hardly accurately point out who God is, or would I be ready with, not lengthy, but solid words that directly tell you who God is, what He's done, and your choice today is either Yes or No?

It is our responsibility to present the case for Christ. In that sense, we are stewards of the Gospel we've received, and we have to pass it whole to another. It cannot be shaped into something else, or have parts of it shaved off just to fit to the other person's level of acceptance. It has to be given whole, and taken whole.

We should always be aware of when we are merely trying to help someone understand, and when we are actually diluting or twisting the gospel. We want to be God's instruments, not stumbling blocks.
