Alright, I’ll come clean. Neil Young is not on my radar for musical talent. But there is a significant point to my showing his video yesterday. I’m personally sick and tired of people (more specifically mature Christian’s) telling me that they don’t have the ability to share the gospel or that it is not their responsibility. Hmmmm! This is not only sad but entirely wrong (Acts 1:8, 22:15-16) . I’m not saying that we need to be bible thumping evangelist, but we are to be spokes people for God. This means we are to share with the world our unique testimony of how we came to a personal relationship with Christ Jesus. This is done not only with words but actions also.
So what does this have to do with Neil Young? Simple really, watch how we sings and carries himself. He cannot sing, he has no looks, and his dancing skills are a big zero, yet the crowds love him. Why? His passion is HUGE, he really believes in what he is doing and that is what people connect with. If you really believe let’em hear and feel you. Don’t be afraid to share your unique story, it’s yours and no one can say that your story is not true. They may not like or agree with you but they cannot call you a liar and discredit your feelings and personal experience.
Look at Acts 4:13, “The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the Scriptures.” These common men spoke with boldness because the Holy Spirit was with them and they believed. Do you believe?
Not convinced, wrap your arms around Hebrews 6:1 So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding.
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
May the Lord God revile in His perfect time His will for each of His new creations.

When your right, your right. I concur Neil Young has little to offer in the talent department, yet his compassion is bigger than life. This is so like you to get us all thinking outside of the box. Nice thought indeed.
