billboard-size boldness
Our men's prayer group had a great time of prayer this morning. There are always certain prayers that really resonate with my spirit. One of them was on my wavelength today. One of the guys prayed for "billboard-size boldness." I don't know why, but that combination of words blessed me and challenged me. My dominant thought as we "marched" from the picnic area to the beach area at our Baptism by the Bay on Sunday was this: "I am not ashamed of the gospel." And I think baptism is all about Matthew 10:32: "Whoever publicly acknowledges me I will also acknowlendge before my Father in heaven."
I don't want to be one of those "homemade signs" on 81/2 by 11 inch paper that people post on poles at intersections. In part, because that's illegal :) I want to be a huge billboard or maybe one of those "advertisements in the sky" pulled by planes that fly by beaches during the summertime. I want to advertise Christ to the best of my God-given ability. I guess that's an expression of one of my deepest convictions: the greatest message deserves the greatest marketing.
Lord, give us billboard-sized boldness!
