Colossians 4:2-6

 2Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3And pray for us,
too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the
mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as
I should. 5Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every
opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt,
so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Meditation
1. Expressing Christ in my life is vital to an effective witness. But it is not enough.
The gospel is a message delivered in words, and authenticated by life. Both
word and life must be shared.
2. How well am I doing in sharing the gospel? Which do I need to improve
(word or life) to become more effective in advancing the gospel?
3. From vv5-6, what principles do I want to build into my life as I relate to nonbelievers?
4. Pray and ask the Spirit to give me one or two faces of people in your life
whom He wants me to pray for and share the gospel with.

Personal Note:
I need to improve in the area of sharing the Gospel, both in Word and life in order to become more effective in advancing the Gospel.  I need to have wisdom interacting with non-believers and have my conversations be seasoned with grace.  Right now, I would like to share the Gospel with two high school friends.
