Watch Your Language
W
itnessing effectively is essential when you are a part of the body of
Christ;
A lways assume you
are being watched: be keenly aware of everything you do.
T ell others about Jesus,
teaching them the Truth found only in His Word.
C ensure your attitude when it
becomes unyielding and unfruitful;
H elp others see the Spirit of
Christ in you by how you act and react.
Y ield yourself to God every
day even when you don’t feel like doing it;
O bey human authority:
doing good silences the foolish people around you.
U nbelief has no part in the
body of Christ, so walk by faith, not by sight:
R espond by faith with action
just like the disciples did in the book of Acts.
L ook into the eyes of the
person you are witnessing to: have compassion.
A nxious souls may cross their
arms across their chest: be
patient.
N ever be afraid
to smile and let your light shine: give them a faith lift.
G ive up
slouching—sit up and pay attention—it pays off in the long run.
U se what you have learned to
reach out and touch other’s lives in love:
A ffect the world around you
positively for the kingdom of God;
G uard your heart and mind
from sinful, evil thoughts and actions.
E ndure with enthusiasm to the
end: finish the race with and
for Him!
