Acts 1:8b - "...and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Every word Jesus spoke while on earth was important but these were Jesus' last words to his disciples before ascending to Heaven. Let's try to be a witness today on visitation! - Wes Smith

2 Corinthians 4:17 (or two Corinthians per Donald Trump...haha) - "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;"  No matter what light afflictions we suffer for following Jesus (mocking/jokes from co-workers, harsh words from some you witness to, constant questions about how we act or why we don't do certain things), it pales in comparison to what He went through for us and the glory that's waiting for us!  Let's keep looking for opportunities to share with others the same joys we look forward to. - Jason Barrett

Hebrews 9:27 warns, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." I was talking with a co-worker this week who grew up in church, but says he believes in reincarnation. A rebirth to experience the pain you have caused others. He is blind to the coming judgment that awaits this world.  Often times it is not enough to witness to co-workers. We must pray that the heart would be ready and it could be that we are the ones God would use to labor in the soil so others may reap the harvest. Our job is both to sow and reap, but trust God for the increase. - Matt Stephens

Proverbs 20:4 - "The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing." This verse is mostly used to talk about the importance of hard work, but there is very much a spiritual application here also. We've heard several messages recently about our job as Christians to win souls, but it is so easy to come up with excuses for not doing it. Let's be looking for opportunities to work for Christ, instead of looking for excuses to get out of it. It would be a shame to stand before God at judgement(harvest) with nothing to show for the life He gave us. - Brian Boots

Luke 21:17 - "And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake." John 15:18 - "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you." There's no way around it. We are hated because the world, in Satan's grasp, hates God. We aren't to let this discourage us. We are told to continue to spread the Gospel and to even "shake off the dust" from our feet to those who refuse to hear us. As in don't let rejection bother us, keep going, the harvest is already white. We don't have much time left. - Garrett Longest

I Timothy 6:6 - "But godliness with contentment is great gain..." The next verse states that we will take out what we brought in to this world when we were born... So let's not worry about what we can accumulate, but who we can win for Christ! - Wes Smith

Romans 14:12 - "So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God." I was listening to some coworkers talk at work this week who are unsaved.  They were talking about the hypocrisy they have seen in supposed Christians they have been in contact with. Backstabbing, cursing, unwilling to help others in need, etc. It made me listen and wonder about those "Christians" and then examine myself. If I am not leading others to Christ I am leading them from him. Even as a Christian by not living for Christ in EVERYTHING I will lead people away from Jesus because they will have no reason to follow Him. How about you? Will others see Christ in you, I pray it is so! - Matt Stephens

Romans 4:7,8 - "...Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.  Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." Because of salvation, to have the Lord not hold us to the sins in our lives is immeasurable.  To share this blessing with others is priceless.  - Phil Dann

Mark 10:47-48 - "Bartimaeus... he began to cry out and say Jesus, thou son of David have mercy upon me.  And many charged him that he should hold his peace." Sometimes we are so caught up with all we are doing, we miss an opportunity to do something for God.  I missed 2 opportunities for witnessing last week because I was so busy doing "great" things.  Make sure you take advantage of the openings God gives you. - Jason Brothers
