ARE YOU ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL?

Are you ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
Are you ashamed to put a Bible on your desk at work?
Are you ashamed to bow your head in prayer in the cafeteria or restaurant?
Are you ashamed to invite people to Jesus Christ?
Are you ashamed to go to church and worship with other believers? 
Are you ashamed of the One who died for you?
Some folks may say,
    “Well, I just don’t believe in wearing my faith on my sleeve.”

A little boy had a dog and somebody asked him what kind of dog he was.
The little fellow said,
    “He’s a police dog.”
But, everyone could see that he was just a mongrel.
The friend replied,
    “Well, he doesn’t look like a police dog.” 
The little guy said,
    “He’s in the secret service.”
There may be many believers who are in the secret service.
Remaining undercover instead of being open, bold and unashamed about their faith.
In spite of the problems he faced due to his faith, Paul said,
    “For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
     because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes:
     first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.”
     (Romans 1:16).
