Any Secret Christians?


ree

A woman who was showing a massive piece of family silver apologized as she took it from the cupboard. "Dreadfully tarnished," she said, "I can't keep it bright unless I use it." This is just as true of faith as it is of silver. You can't keep faith bright unless you use it and share it. In fact, sharing of faith-stories builds up and enlarges the faith community. Therefore, the author of Hebrews shared the heroic faith stories of pre-Christian age such as those of "Gideon, Samson, David, Samuel and the Prophets" (Hebrews 11:32) with early Christians whose faith was cooling down. During Jesus' ministry after performing miracles told people, "Go home to your friends, and tell them how much the Lord has done for them" (Mark 5:19). It is impossible to know the value of faith without desiring to see others, too, brought in.


As I am a Christian, do I share my faith experiences with my children, friends, colleagues and others who I come in contact with?
