Annie's "World Series" Page (original) (raw)

As a Christian, every part of our life should reflect the light from our relationship with the Lord and leave a shadow. You don't have to be a Pastor or Missionary to share your faith with others. Use the World Series games as an opportunity to fellowship with church members or neighbors. Sports can be a wonderful opportunity to share your faith with others. If you are with believers then you can share what the Lord is doing in your life and answers to prayer.

Jesus admonished us to be the "light of the world" and not to "hide our light under a barrel". We are also to be "salt" of the world. Salt is for seasoning. Some people don't use salt and others tend to over-salt. Unfortunately some people won't even taste the food before they salt and pepper it. A little here and a little there to taste is much better then dumping the whole salt shaker on someone's head. If you are living your life with the Lord in control then people will see that there is something different about you. They will be drawn like magnets and hopefully you won't repel them by what you say. The Lord makes the 'divine appointments' for you and will help you with just the right words to share.

This year as you are watching the World Series use it as an opportunity to pray for the athletes. If you prefer you can use silent prayer and it will work just the same as spoken prayer. Whether you are in a room full of people or alone you can still pray for the players and no one will be the wiser. Pray for their Salvation, their relationship with the Lord, their health & safety, their marriages, kids and families. You can also do the same for everyone in the room with you and even for yourself. We all need prayer. Someone was once asked if they could pray for them and the reply was: "I need the prayer and you need the practice."

Enjoy each Game and don't eat too much!!!!!
