BB –  We are talking today about “Introducing God”

So JT What does that title bring up to your mind? ((JT ANSWERS))

 

  1. Bob – POINT: It’s not a time to feel like you need to be a theologian to introduce God… but we do need to be ready….

 

1 Peter 3:15 (ESV) — 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

JT – Question ONE - FROM THE SPIRITUAL SIDE OF LIFE….

 

Are you saying that everyone who is a Christian should be ready to introduce God?

 

  1. Bob

We are called to be witnesses, to be ready to defend what we believe, and to introduce God. When we consider the words of Jonah David, and Paul that I brought up in the blog, it’s not like we have be great theologians, we just need to be a witness.

 

Jonah 1:9 (ESV) — 9 And he said to them, “I am a Hebrew, and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land.”

Psalm 96:3–5 (ESV) — 3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! 4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

 

DISCUSSION

 

  1. JT – Question Two… “FROM THE MENTAL ASPECT”

How can we mentally bring ourselves to be ready to be a witness and introduce others to God.

 

  1. Bob

Acts 1:8 (ESV) — 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

 

Discussion

 

  1. Third question … Turning to the Physical

Is belching good for you?

 

  1. Bob ---

This is not any scientific data that I have but it makes sense… as I have seen when I wear my HR monitor that when I belch, my HR drops significantly…(((Winter Park Crew))  so think about it the vibration in your vocal cords relaxes the muscles around your vagis nerve… which signals your body to relax and your HR drops. Think about it… when you are nervous or anxious – just belch.. OR I might add humming produces the same effect so you if you can’t belch you can hum.

 

JT’s Comments

 

Take Aways – JT …. And Bob

 

Bob’s final comment – It takes discipline to find a way, such as belching OR humming to drop your HR but you find you can relax when things get tough…

 

Point: DISCIPLINE MAKES THE DIFFERENCE --- in all aspects of life
