Put On The Shoes Of The Gospel Series

Constantly, picture Jesus sitting on the throne of your heart!

Put on the Shoes of the Gospel given personally to you!

If someone asks you why you are a Christian, will you be ready to tell them?

If you have never done so before, will you write out your brief testimony this week?

Just answer 3 simple questions:

How was your life before believing in Christ?

When and why did you believe in Christ as Savior?

How does Jesus Christ influence your life today?

Always be ready to share how and why you believe in Jesus Christ!

I found a new hero through an Olympian. Here’s the story: I didn’t really know who I was and what I was doing. Everyone knew me as Kelly Clark—pro snowboarder; Kelly Clark—Olympic gold medalist, and that’s who I was. That’s who I was to other people and that’s who I was to myself. I was thinking: If this is what life is, if I’ve accomplished it all, if this is everything: I don’t want to do it anymore. I went to a snowboarding event and from the outside perspective my life was picture-perfect and together. I was doing well in the contest and I qualified for finals that afternoon. But at the bottom of the pipe this girl had come down and she had fallen both runs and was crying. I was half-paying attention to her conversation and her friend was trying to make her laugh and said, “Hey, it’s all right, God still loves you.” There was just something about that comment that caught my attention that I couldn’t shake. I couldn’t deny that it stirred something up in me. So I ran back to my hotel room and I thought: “There has got to be a Bible in the hotel room…there are always Bibles in hotel rooms, right? As I started looking at the Bible, I realized that I don’t know where to look or where to start. There is something getting stirred up inside of me and I don’t know what to do.

I found out that that girl who made the comment was staying in my hotel. I knocked on her door and said, “Hey, my name’s Kelly and I think you might be a Christian and I think you need to tell me about God.”

My new hero is the girl who decided to wear Shoes of the Gospel when Kelly Clark needed to hear God’s love! How abut you and me, there are many “Kelly Clarks” out there looking for people who are wearing the Shoes of the Gospel. Be a hero for God!

With the Gospel given to you, you can have the confidence to stand and move on with your life for God!

Your spiritual shoes separate you from the world because you are a citizen of heaven! Can you picture those spiritual shoes? Put on those spiritual shoes everyday!

Please take a moment to pray about these things and make a commitment to always put on the full armor of God!
