Happy 4th of July! - Now go share the gospel.
As I was sitting here enjoying my day off, some quick thoughts came to mind. so I thought I would share them with you. I have been looking forward to today all week. My job at UPS has been CRAZY! I was ready for it to be Friday on Tuesday (yeah that bad).
We’re going to Shannon’s boss’s house tonight to go swimming and watch fireworks from their house that overlooks Albuquerque. I’m going to drink some good beer (and maybe some wine) and do some much needed relaxing/partying. But something came to mind.
Every time I read about Jesus going to a party, feast, festival, holiday, or celebration, he is preaching the gospel. Jesus always used the natural gathering of people to share God’s desire to show His glory in their lives. Holiday’s weren’t a day off for Him. Instead they were a great opportunity to be used.
So how are you using the 4th to share the gospel? Do you see holidays only as a time to relax and retreat? Do you see holiday’s as a time reach out to those who are far from God? Am I an idiot, or am I hitting a nerve?

Thanks Clayton! These are the posts I love to write. I just worry that people will get tired of me banging on the same drum all the time.
Dude, you’re so right on. Our faith should be lived out in everyday life - church, restaurants, parties and everywhere in between.
