Daily New Life with Steve Arterburn www.crosswalk.com New Life daily devotion - July 14, 2011 14 Jul 2011, 5:00 am   Contagious Faith Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Colossians 3:23 NIV The stronger your faith, the better you can rise above the inevitable stresses of turbulent times. And the more enthused you are about your faith, the better you can share it. Are you genuinely excited about your faith? And do you make your enthusiasm known to those around you? Or are you a “silent ambassador” for Christ? God’s preference is clear: He intends that you stand before others and proclaim your faith. Genuine, heartfelt Christianity is contagious. If you enjoy a life-altering relationship with God, that relationship will have an impact on othersâ€"perhaps a profound impact. Does Christ reign over your life? Then share your testimony and your excitement. The world needs both. Don’t take hold of a thing unless you want that thing to take hold of you. - E. Stanley Jones We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about. - Charles Kingsley Your enthusiasm will be infectious, stimulating, and attractive to others. They will love you for it. They will go for you and with you. - Norman Vincent Peale When we wholeheartedly commit ourselves to God, there is nothing mediocre or run-of-the-mill about us. To live for Christ is to be passionate about our Lord and about our lives. - Jim Gallery Today’s Prayer Dear Lord, let me be an enthusiastic participant in life. And let my enthusiasm bring honor and glory to You. Amen   You are receiving this email because you subscribed to this feed at blogtrottr.com. If you no longer wish to receive these emails, you can unsubscribe from this feed.
