:
Get the WORD out!
You may not be perfect. You may not be a biblical seminary student or a Doctor of Theology. But you've started investigating the Word of God and He's started to work in your heart. Don't keep the truth to yourself - start getting the Word out!
"Proclaim the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convict, rebuke, encourage with all patience and doctrine." (4:2)
When it's convenient and when it isn't, whenever you can, share the truth. People have tried to hide it, have suppressed it and have put it down; Satan tries to get people to forget about it and be distracted by other things. But you can make a difference!
Not only should sharing God's truth be a way of life, you should also be on the lookout for specific people that will respect the truth and pass it on to others as well. Take the time with these men and women to give them a head start in their life with Jesus.
"The things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." (4:2)
Your life is changing and you're getting the Word out. But it's time to remember the field workers in Jesus parable and start looking closely at the grain . . .
