Over Preparedness Syndrome

Do you ever feel like you can't witness to those around you because you aren't spiritual enough? What if they ask a really hard question? How many times have I said, I will witness to that person once I really get a stronger foundation?

I took an online spiritual assessment survey at my church to highlight some spiritual focus areas for 2010. Of course community effectiveness and outreach were the areas that I was weakest. I realized that my lack of action has been excused by a need to feel prepared. As I mulled over my outreach apathy a verse came to mind; 1 John 4:4 - "The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world". How blasphemous to think that my witness was based on my own capacity.

I AM PREPARED and now out of excuses.

  1. That is why I like witnessing to kids. I'm not so intimidated.
