Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Corinthians 9:16

Yesterday I stopped by Academy. I thought maybe I needed another piece of Saints gear. I have a black sweat shirt and a Number 9 Jersey. I thought maybe a nice golf shirt with an understated logo would be good to wear the rest of the time. You know when it’s too warm for a sweat shirt and a jersey is a bit too tacky, like when I’m in court. I resisted the temptation. I couldn’t believe the prices.

This morning I resisted the temptation to wear the Jersey; but I thought about it. I am proud of the Who Dat Nation who rose up in arms when their right to proclaim “Who Dat” was challenged.

Less than ten percent of all “Christians” ever share their faith with someone else. Only two percent share their faith on a regular basis. Lot’s of reasons are given; click here to see if your reason is listed. 

We think we’re pretty bold if we wear a t-shirt that identifies us in any way as a “Christian.” “Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact.” Today OC isn’t really talking about witnessing. He is talking about resisting the call of God to preach. But most of us don’t get to that. Why would we even consider a call of God to preach or teach or to be a missionary or to work full time in God’s service or to step out even part time to serve prisoners or widows or orphans, since we don’t even perform the basic call: to testify to the fact of what God has done in our lives?

“Who Dat say we’re a Christian?” Who indeed?

Say “Dat” and
Be blessed.
