Live out loud.

My tip for the week is a serious one: Live like a Christian and live it loud. Don't be apologetic.

At work I have the ability to voice my beliefs to an extent. In doing so, I have not only been blessed by finding other Christians, but I've also been influential on the lives of others who, whether they know it or not, are not so confident about what they believe.
I believe in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God who is both 100% God and 100% man. He died to pay the consequences of sin, of MY sin. He didn't stay dead but came alive being a testimony to His followers of the truthfulness of His words and works. He ascended to be with His Father in Heaven and will return to earth again one day. I await His return with joy, knowing that whether I live til then or die before, I will live eternally with God in heaven. I cannot live without hope. Therefore, I live like a Christian, being vocal because I can and not being apologetic because I can't.

Paul wrote:
"Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life of by death." Philippians 1:19-20
"...holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain or toil in vain." Philippians 2:16
