HOW’S YOUR HEALTH? Every year I go to the doctor and get a physical. My health insurance thinks this is very important and they even pay for several of the tests that are performed on me. I have discovered that with every physical new adjustment to my life seems to follow the appointment. My ad- vice is don’t wait until you have an issue with your health to have a physical. I would encourage you to be proactive and not reactive. How’s your evangelistic health? Obviously the Holy Spirit leads people to Christ as their Savior and Lord! But, have you evaluated your own personal evangelistic practices? Are you intentional about evangelism? Are you bold in your evangelism? If you had an evangelistic physical today, what adjustment would you need to make in your lifestyle? March would be a great time to evaluate your evangelistic lifestyle. Beckham Mills Baptist Association will be providing some opportuni- ties to help you!

My prayer is that you will check your evangelistic pulse! “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” II Timothy 4:1-5 NASB Sharing Jesus!
