This painting is a self-portrait, here I am telling the people around me what great things God has done for me, and how He has had mercy on me. In Mark 5:19, these are the same instructions Jesus gives to a man He freed from a tormenting legion of demons. “Go home to your people and report to them….”
This is the challenge before me as I begin blogging here on WingAbouts.com. I grew up in a family where talking about religion, money or politics was considered rude. Perhaps you did too. But I’ve gained a new perspective over the years. If Jesus is the cure for eternal suffering, then not sharing that cure with others is cruel and very unloving.
So here I am to shatter that old silence. I believe in Jesus Christ and I think you should too. He is not just one of many ways to heaven. He is the only way, the only truth, and the only key to a life worth living on this earth. More importantly, He alone can give you eternal life (John 14:6).
That’s my story, what’s yours? Please join with me here weekly and leave questions or comments from time to time to help shatter some silence of your own.
