A Challenge or an Opportunity?

Consumed Student Ministries is taking on the One Month Bible Challenge. We started on October 1st and already I have had students coming up to me telling me they have had many people ask why they are carrying around there Bibles. What an opportunity to start a conversation about Jesus. I hope that the students here @ Consumed will continue this challenge of carrying there bibles wherever they go throughout the month. I'll have to give them some grace because I (Pastor Phil) even forgot his going into the volleyball game on Monday night! It was in my car, just forgot to grab it when I got out! Oops! So students you get one strike for free!! :)

As I'm sitting here writing this blog I think to myself is this really a challenge or is this an opportunity? I can see how it is a challenge, but I also see the opportunity to carry around my bible and through this God will provide opportunities to share about Him. I'm gonna look at this challenge differently and say its an opportunity! I get the opportunity every day to take my Bible with me wherever I go. I don't want to miss the opportunities God gives me, and so from here on out each and every single day, I'm gonna take the opportunity to carry around my Bible and not do it as a challenge but just say yes to the opportunity the Lord has given me!

I hope that you may jump at this opportunity as well and through this many doors will be opened to share about the good news of Jesus Christ to the lost, the hurting, and the broken hearted. Lets not keep the love of Jesus to ourselves!
