BOTTOM LINE- Chumming
Whether throwing out seeds or giving your scripture based testimony or in even deeper DISCUSSIONS...
the Christ centered WITNESS is a great adventure involving needy people
.
LAST WEEK-
2 EXAMPLES
1-This last week I had the privilege of simply
throwing out the seeds of the Word
(that never returns void)...
to a renown thinker, world lecturer...
a very nice person and enjoyable communicator...
a self described agnostic/atheist type...
WE HAVE HAD MANY SPIRITUAL DISCUSSIONS IN THE PAST
I see him about once a month...
I will continue to throw out eternal seed- in fishing it's called
chumming
...
2-Also the MEAT section ASST MGR at
COSTCO
...was so helpful in helping me get the meat my wife wanted me to pick up...I said "you have been so helpful to me...I have a small but very meaningful gift for you.." I then gave him my wristband along with my one minute testimony...without asking him to do it, he read out loud what it says on the band "I am a sinner, Jesus Christ is my Savior, John 3:16" His eyes were watery and his face filled with emotion as we shook hands.

I'm not a fisherman rather
a fisher of men
