Moments of Truth

I am still meditating on the service this past Sunday, and the message the Lord led me to preach. The text was Acts 4:13-22. The title of the sermon was Moments of Truth. You can go to our website, www.hbcfamily.org, and watch the sermon if you wish. I am haunted by the statement, "The key to your Moments of Truth is the abundance or absence of the presence of the Lord Jesus in an intimate, personal way." I have to ask myself this morning as I sit in my office, "Is there an abundance of the presence of the Lord Jesus in me today?" Have I done all that I need to do to cultivate his presence and fragrance in my life? Have I talked with Him? Have I allowed, been patient enough to let Him talk to me? As Peter and John and the once lame man stood before the Sanhedrin that day, with life and death hanging in the balance, it was OBVIOUS to them that they had been with Jesus. I pray that as I live my life today, and I pray that as you live your life today, that it will be obvious that you and I have been with Jesus. May our world be filled with the fragrance of Christ today. Life is a mission trip; TAKE IT!
