Cozy Comfort
Have you ever seen an eagle's nest? It's way up therea thousand feet up on the edge of a cliff, and the mother eagle is saying to her poor chick, "Get out and fly." He's terrified, and that's understandable because he's never done it before. He prefers the cozy comfort and safety of his mother's nest. So, she subtly takes all the feathers from the lining of the nest, leaving bare sticks to prod the chick, making it uncomfortable for him. Now he prefers to get out of the nest and stretch his wings. Does your conscience prick you and make you feel uncomfortable when we talk about your evangelistic responsibility? Maybe you don't want to be involved in the irksome task of evangelism, but each of us must let such talk do so, and drive us out of the nest of complacency. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
