Enduring Word Bible - #27
Psalm 145-
Great is the Lord
v.3-Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised,
and his greatness is unsearchable.
One generation shall commend your works to another,
and shall declare your mighty acts.
v.5 On the glorious spender of your majesty
and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.
They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds,
and I will declare your greatness. v.7 They shall
pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness
and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.
I continue to think about the information
in the Spiritual Conversations in the Digital Age book
by Lutheran Hour Ministries
and the Barna group.
A common denominator for people
who talk about their faith is that
they are "practicing Christians."
That means these Christians
have an active prayer life,
read God's Word,
and attend a church worship service.
Yet, for some in this group, the topic of faith
comes up less than once a month in conversations.
That tilts them into the reluctant
conversationalist category.
Those that speak regularly
or seek opportunities to share about faith topics
are considered eager conversationalists.
Spiritual practices make a significant difference.
They give us something to talk about
and the desire to tell, commend
and declare the works
and acts of God to the next generation.
The three basic components
that have been a part of
Visual Faith practices have been
prayer, reading God's Word and worship.
Transformation stories about what has changed
in our lives leads to spiritual conversations.
We can't help but talk about it with others.
And just like that---
a reluctant conversationalist
becomes an eager one.
