A Word from the Pastor

Are you a witness for Jesus Christ?

That word “witness” is an interesting word. In the original New Testament language of Greek, the word is martus. It generally refers to someone who is called upon to testify at a trial. It is someone who has first-hand information. I like this word, because it helps us remember who we are and who we are not.

Think of it this way from the spiritual side of things:

• We are not the lawyer, judge, jury, arresting officer, or prosecuting attorney
• We are only witnesses.
• We are to simply share what we have come to know from personal experience through our saving relationship with Jesus.

SO…Once again I ask you….

Are you a witness?

The answer is “YES!” You are either a contagious one or a contaminated one!

Serving Jesus,

Pastor Danny
