I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of everything we have in Christ. ~ Philemon 1:6
“If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it still make a sound?” That’s an arguable phrase. We understand that objects of a certain mass will make a sound loud enough for the human ear to hear—one of which is a tree hitting the ground. But if no one is there to hear it, how can we know for sure? This past weekend we celebrated Easter. As the day was approaching, I heard a lot of people speak about how we know that Christ died and was resurrected because people saw Him and could give a testimony about it—they witnessed it and shared what they saw and experienced. Think about how differently we’d live and believe—or not believe—if Christ had died and risen, but went straight to heaven instead of revealing Himself to His disciples.
When we share our experiences with others--being touched by the Holy Spirit, our first time coming to Christ, the amazing transformation that's taken place in our lives--it not only reinforces that excitement and passion in our lives, but it touches the lives of others.
Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother have refreshed the hearts of the saints. ~ Philemon 1:7
