God is good. All the time. The other night, I was working. 'Cause that's what I do. I work. Gotta make a living. (I have to confess that when I work, I generally don't look for God to do much. He's there. I thank Him for my clients and my work. But I don't generally think about ministry while I'm designing a web page.) And yet. He is there anyway.

So, as I was working, I checked facebook. I try not to, because it ends up distracting me. But I did this time. And I got a message from a friend. We'll call him "John". He had questions about God. Now, "John" and I go way back. We go back to high school, more than ten years ago. We used to party together. Now, I'm a Youth Pastor. So "John" from high school has questions about God, and God uses me to answer some of those when I am supposed to be working. I'm posting this to show that there is never a time when God can't/won't use you. We must always be listening.

I won't post what was said. I will only say that a changed life gave rise to a question about why I changed. The cool thing is, this is not the first time someone from my past has asked why I changed.

There are many things that will serve to evangelize, but few are as powerful or as irrefutable as your testimony and the sign of a changed life. If your faith is true, your life will show fruit of that faith. The fruit of my faith is a changed life in Christ Jesus, and a testimony of the things He has put out of my life. And God uses that testimony again and again.

Wherever you are. Whatever you are doing. Know that God can use you. Even more, that He wants to use you. And it's awesome when He does.

Be rad for Jesus. And be ready.
