On the topic of evangelism (as we have been for the last couple of months)...
Don't make the mistake of thinking that your acts of faith have to be huge and dramatic. Usually small things make the difference. Today I got the privilege of going to see the movie "Brave" with three of our youth and one of our youth-at-heart people. The movie was good, its messages were interesting, we had a good time munching candy and discussing the film. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary but it didn't have to be. Faith doesn't get grown in huge leaps. It gets built block by block, experience by experience, thought by thought. Today wasn't a life-transforming day for any of the folks in that theater. It didn't have to be. Sometimes doing something fun together is enough. Do enough of those things and you start to get the idea that God is good, life is worth something, sharing makes everything nicer. That's a great start to understanding the world through the eyes of faith.
Don't miss the opportunity to do something small and good today if it comes before you. Enjoy it! You'll be rewarded a hundredfold.
