I haven’t made a video in about a month or so. You see, my laptop crashed and I lost over six months of saved files, including my soulwinnersr.us files. It set me back digitally, and also it set me back mentally. It was a stressful time for me, and with my OCD tendencies, it set me on a bit of a tailspin that was difficult to break out of. I now, however, have a new laptop, even a better one, so with God’s help, perhaps I can get back on track.
Not that my videos are all that popular. After all, who wants to hear about the boring topic of evangelism anyway?
I know one former Amish young man who creates videos about repossessing sheds, along with family videos, and he has over 200,000 followers, with several thousand views on each video, if you can believe it! I only have a few followers, and I am lucky if I get 100 views on each video.
I’m OK with that. I started Soulwinnersr.us in the first place to get myself moving with evangelism. And if others decide to move along with me, that’s icing on the cake.
Today’s very short post is entitled “Shining Like A Star”. Following is the theme verse found in Philippians 2:15:
“So that you may be blameless and pure, children of God who are faultless in a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine like stars in the world.”It’s amazing to me how many references there are to “stars” in the Bible. Sixty-nine times, to be exact. And, we as Christians, are involved as the main actors, stars if you will, in God’s wondrous plan on the world stage. It doesn’t matter how many followers we have in this world, or how many people view our videos. What matters is that we allow God to work through us and in us to bring about His Kingdom, as Jesus said in Matthew 6:10:
“Our Father in heaven. Your name be honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”Only then will we shine bright—like ‘stars’!
