In your life

Last Sunday, we began our new series on Everyday Christianity: How to Live out Your Faith. The area of focus for this week is YOU! What does it mean to live out your faith every day? What does it mean to have a testimony for the Lord?

James reminds us that life is “like a vapor, that appears for a little time” (James 4:14). We can learn two things from this statement. One, life is short, and two, life is significant. While we are here upon earth we “appear” before men and women for who you are. As short as your life is, it makes its own impact, in terms of behavior, influence, service, and sacrifice. As Paul puts it, “None of us lives to himself” (Romans 14:7). In this sense, each life is of tremendous significance. "You are writing a gospel, a chapter each day, by the deeds that you do and the words that you say. Men read what you write, distorted or true. What is the gospel according to you?" That little line of poetry has stuck with me for years to remind me that we are to be a living testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ every day, every where we go. So let your light shine!
