Facebook Hiking Dieting Parable - by DianaDee Osborne

FEBRUARY  27

Why are so many Christians AFRAID
to learn how to Facebook
& blog & Skype & twit etc incl phone texting?

Jesus walked 100s of miles without fancy jogging shoes  to share God's message.   

Took a LOT longer for Him to use

that method of reaching people with God's Truth, 
than it would take for us to learn 
how to do things on a computer

that most youth and many children know.

AFTER ALL  -- James 1:5  SAYS  the 

Holy Spirit will TEACH us how, if we simply

ASK  for wisdom.

HERE WE ARE  with WONDERFUL promises  from God......

No matter what our sin,  God will HELP us FIGHT it.

HERE WE ARE  with WONDERFUL good news (Gospel) from God......
We must pay the CONSEQUENCES of daily sins,  but

Jesus saved us from the FINAL consequence of HELL

because of His love for us and willingness to take our

punishment of death for sin.

So why are so many Christ-FOLLOWERS AFRAID to learn how to Facebook and blog and use phone texting?

        It's a matter of priority.         

Are we more concerned for people to know that God will help -- including when they're desperately fighting temptations like over-eating and over-shopping,  and drinking and drugs, and

even just stopping gossiping... which is a sin as bad as -- lumped with -- murder at the end of Revelation -- than we are about

failing a few times learning something new?
   Do we cherish      personal time more than time sharing God's Word?

People say "I don't have time to Facebook."

Well, friends, others are DYING without Jesus.

Got time to share with them the

ways God has helped you?

Even just that He loves them enough to

 help them in something as simple as dieting?       

                                                                                

PRAYER

LORD GOD, help me to get over my self-centered fears of 
admitting to other people that I have a problem with overeating.... 
with (ouch but I'll say it:)  gluttony.  
Only by admitting my faults  and how You God have helped me in specific times,  
can I share with them first the small news that You help in diets....
 and then the GREATER News that Jesus hiked for miles to 
share Your Word of HOLINESS as well as Love  
to as many people as He could physically reach. 

The least I can do,  not needing to hike 100s of miles,  is to learn common communication ways to reach people with Your Word now.

I pray James 1:5 ....  It was impossible for me to figure out at first,  
and then You helped me learn blogging and texting and Facebook.  
And  "Skype" ........ Oh, LORD:                                                    :)  
HELP ME TO LEARN WAYS TO SHARE YOUR WORD.
