A Month in the Life

Today I was looking through my purse for a piece of paper to put my gum in, my purse was an absolute mess so there was a lot of options. Anyways, I reached in and pulled out a piece of paper and to my excitement it was a check for $50.00! Who forgets about a $50.00 check??? Well, I guess I do, needless to say today has been an awesome day!

OK so I need to share a witnessing issue that I have in hopes that someone will be able to help me with my problem. These past couple of years I have really tried to up my witnessing game, I make an effort to tell at least one person a day about God and church in hopes that one day they will come. However, in doing so I have found an issue that I never imagined I would face. I typically will try to strike up conversation at the mall or maybe blockbuster with anyone who would like to talk to me. Yet, the majority of individuals I find myself inviting to church are guys around my age. Now I know this seems like no big deal, but the issue is this, I am a single 24 year old girl and it appears that when I invite a single guy to church they typically take it like I am asking them out on a date. Obviously, my intent is to invite them to church so that they can receive salvation, but to them they see a single girl asking them out. I would never consider myself a flirt, but I would consider myself friendly, which I have found out can be somewhat of a fine line. So I guess my question is, how should a single individual go about inviting someone of the opposite sex to church without making it appear that they are diving into the "missionary dating game?"

So today I feel the need to get into Bible teacher mode, maybe it's because I just got home from church, but anyways...

This thought stems from a conversation that I had with an individual a little bit ago. I had shared with this person some things that I feel like God had given me (I knew it was God because I know I'm not smart enough to think of it myself) this person seemed to have liked it and asked me an interesting question, they said, "Do you think I could use this sometime?" What an absurd question I thought, I responded "Of course you can, it's not my thought in the first placed." Yet, I began to think about this question and I realized that the individual felt the need to ask me if they could use it, it would have appeared rude to them to use it without asking my permission. I find this happening all the time, a preacher gets upset for someone "stealing" their sermon. I know of some people who refuse to tell others what books they read, because they don't want others to get the information before them. This whole idea is so silly to me, do you think Peter gets upset every time someone "steals" his sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost? Do you think Paul gets mad when people read his letters and preach off of them without acknowledging him as the author? Of course not that is ridiculous, why? Because we all recognize that those are from God, and that is how it should be with all sermons. I think a lot of us have missed the boat when it comes "giving honor to whom honor is due" we expect that honor, but how many times have we denied God the honor that is due Him?

I know that some of you may disagree so please let me know what you think about this, I would love your opinion!
