Have you come out of the closet?




Who are you REALLY? Do people know you for who you really are? Do they know you as a follower of Jesus Christ?




Jesus always spoke openly to the world. They knew what He stood for, and He boldly taught in synagogues and in the temple where the Jews always met (John 18:20).

Jesus warns us that "nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light."
(Luke 8:17).

The good news is that God knows our hearts. The bad news is that God knows our hearts. Nothing is hidden from Him.

So what are we hiding for? From the very beginning when Adam fell into sin, man has had this tendency to try and hide from God in his shame and embarassment.

Yet God is calling us to come out! He loves us and there is a covering for our sin!! So let's quit hiding in the closet, and in the power of the Holy Spirit come out and declare ourselves openly and boldly to be Christ followers!

It's time for Christians everywhere to come out of the closet. Bring your Bible to work, wear your Christian T-shirt to work, bring your Christian coffee cup to work. Be bold, be brave, for the Lord your God is with you.

Walk in faith, and you will walk in victory!!

Arise, for this matter is your responsibility. We also are with you. Be of good courage, and do it." (Ezr 10:4)

Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
