S – Scripture
Acts 24 v. 24-25 After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was a Jewess; and he sent for Paul and hear him speak upon faith in Christ Jesus. And as he argued about justice and self-control and future judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “go away for the present; when I have an opportunity I will summon you.”
O – Observation
You can’t water down the message. In these verses, Paul was given many opportunities to share his faith with the Governor (Felix). Not many people get such access to such an influential position. What to do with such an opportunity? Well, In Paul’s case he didn’t water down the message. He didn’t skip over the “hard to accept” facts of Christianity. After all, they argued about justice, self-control and Future Judgment. The trust is the truth is the truth. We need to follow Paul’s lead.
A - Application
Am I watering down the message or stating the facts?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Help me to boldly state the facts. Love Will.
