Isaiah 58:1 Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins.

Jesus did not teach people to simply talk about God but to reach out to people and allow God to move in their lives.

God wants us to bring people closer to Christ so they will understand, themselves, how important it is to know Christ.

This is what it is to make disciples, not Christians. We need to get people to come and join in what God wants, not to just sit and listen!

So, shout all about it; but also encourage people to get down and do stuff with Christ themselves!

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

When you ‘buy’ something and plan to pay it off over time or later, it is a good feeling when you are free from that debt.

We have a debt of life with God because of our sin; Jesus is willing to pay off that debt in full as soon as we ask Him to.

When we do that, we are free from the debt. We don’t have to worry about it. We don’t have it hanging over our heads. We are free!

And it’s an amazing feeling!

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

How many times have you been side-tracked today, where you set out to do something and got way-laid by something you liked instead of getting the job done?

We need to keep our desires in check and get God’s will in action instead.

What we do for God will count more than anything else we do on earth. No big company or millionaire will give you more than what God can give you.

God gives what you need for eternity!
