Misbehaving Religious




Reaching Your World with Luis Palau show

Summary: If you're like me, you've probably encountered many people.  When you try to talk to them about the Lord Jesus and about God the Father and how you can be forgiven of your sins and have the assurance of eternal life and heaven when you die and the Holy Spirit here on Earth - who will say to you "I know religious people who really misbehave."  You know, I used to get very defensive in the old days.  Now I say, "So do I.  I know a lot of religious people who misbehave and it's appalling.  But, I'll tell you what.  First, I'm not here to talk to you about other people.  I want you to get your eyes off other people and put them on Jesus Christ."  For you, as a believer in Jesus Christ, I want to tell you this.  Jesus said, remember, "If I be lifted up I will draw all people to myself."  My job and yours is to lift up Jesus Christ.  Speak well of Him.  Speak reverently.  Tell them what He's done for you, what He means to you, who He is, and let the Holy Spirit use what you say about Jesus Christ.  By lifting Him up, you're really helping to draw people to Himself.And secondly, quote key Bible passages.  That's the key to sharing the Good News.  The Word of God has power and when you give it out it carries power.  The Lord bless you as you try to win others to Jesus Christ.
