the power of the gospel

i get the opportunity today to speak in elementary chapel at GA. this will be the youngest group i have even spoken to, though i have done chapel for them before with the SLC.
i always have a hard time picking the specific topic that i am going to speak on when ever i get the chance to speak. i was thinking about doing a missionary biographical message, then also possible about pilgrim's progress, but while both of those would have been good, these kids are young, wouldn't it be best to try and win them for Christ when they are this young, and perhaps i might have a hand in that if i were to teach on the gospel. that is why i choose this, the gospel, to speak on today. i want to play a part for winning souls for the kingdom. i now face the challenge of speaking to the kids and to keep them engaged and to then also explain it well to them. luckily for me, God is good, He is the one that saves, all i must do is my best and leave the rest to Him. i must speak and He must work. wow! as humans, we get the easy job, all we must do is to speak about the things that have saved us from damnation, which should be easy to do, and God will use these things to save others from the same destruction. yet i often find myself cowering at the thought of sharing my faith. i have on occasion, but i have also missed many opportunities, and the guys that i had the most impact on are no longer around me for they no long work with me. i have done little with the time that i had with them. i may have spoken to them a few times, but it wasn't near as many opportunities that i had to speak. i was shy. i now must pray for their souls and hope that God will call them through another person, for i have failed. God is good though, He is in control, not me, but i must do better for my own conscience and for His glory. a coward isn't pleasing to anyone.
God is good
