At a meeting I went to, the theme came from Acts 4:20, and how the early church could not stop talking about all they had seen and heard. The nature of my position with the meeting means that I have to use that theme in a project later. I wonder, can I stand in agreement with what that verse says?

I fully agree with what the verse says, but am I displaying that? Depending on how analytical you want to be, I could look pretty good. I teach Sunday School, work on the media team at church, and have several other Christian responsibilities. On top of that, I am nearly always at church an hour early. Boy, I have it nailed down, don’t I?

That’s all well and good, but do I talk about Christ? Here is something I use as a measurement, who do I credit when something good happens? If a client says I did a good job, does my head swell up in pride? Am I mature enough to admit that it was not done through my own ability?

Going in another direction, what do I say to someone that is feeling discouraged? I can answer that one easily, I say little. I will admit that I am socially awkward, but that shouldn’t be a problem if I am representing Christ.

So, I am left with this question, am I able to stand with the early church and not be quiet about all that Christ has said and done?
