ROMANS 1:16

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

TO PONDER

In yesterday’s Daily Verse post I talked about my return to an analogue notebook system and alluded to how often I talk about it to random people, just so you understand the depth of what I am talking about, the notebook system I am using is a “Traveler’s Notebook”, sorry if the mention of TN has triggered some of you.

I would say do a quick Google search for it but I don’t want to risk anyone else joining, what I call, the “cult” of the Traveler’s Company Traveler’s Notebook as the journey into the wonderland that is the customizable, modular notebook system featuring a durable leather cover, for those who enjoy a free-spirited, analogue lifestyle is a rabbit warren of Japanese designed fantastical oddities and wonders…

All that aside, the return to a “free-spirited analogue lifestyle” has had enough of a positive effect (or is it affect) on my life, albeit without spell check, to tell others about the Traveler’s Company Traveler’s Notebook system, even if most people using it are ladies, in a manly way.

Today’s Verse is a reminder to tell that guy on the bus (see yesterday’s post) about how your relationship with God has helped your everyday, to tell the barista at your local cafe about the amazing things Jesus is doing in your life.

Paul is not saying to not (does that make a double negative) be ashamed of telling people about your theology, or the doctrine of the trinity, or share an exposition of free-will compared to determinism but rather to tell people the gospel, the good news, the good things God is doing in your life.

I think we aren’t really embarrassed about telling people about God but embarrassed about not knowing what to say but the good news (not a pun) is telling someone something you are excited about and then taking every chance you get you talk about it.

Anyone else a TN fan? Let’s chat! 

PRAYER: Awesome God, I thank you Lord for all the good and perfect gifts you shine on me, help me tell others of your wonderful acts. Amen.
