Hi Ray Comford back again for part two of a series called The Amazing Definition of Initiative,

The Guys are Away and I'm just going to say how I love Mark, Easy and Oscar.

We've got a synergy that I absolutely love.

It's magical if I can use that word as a Christian.

Don't have it today.

I'm sharing a devotional 10, 15 minutes.

This is part two of The Amazing Definition of Initiative and I'll give you a quick summation

of part one if you didn't hear it.

I think you need to hear it to hear this in context.

But a certain principle I've used for 50 years when it comes to sharing the gospel and

that is everything I do bounces off Mark 16, verse 15, going to all the world and preach

to the gospel to every creature.

And I share with you a wonderful exploit that God allowed me to be involved in where

he proved himself to be remarkable in an effort I did to share the gospel with this dying

world where I purchased a bus and I share with you in the first part how God allowed me

to purchase this wonderful bus that we used for his glory and for sharing the gospel

with the lost.

The second exploit that I remember when it comes to using this principle of using initiative

is that I wrote a book called My Friends in Dying back in 1979 I think it was.

A lot of my friends had died because of drug abuse and I felt horrified.

I think five of them from my surfing scene had died through abusing drugs and I thought

I'm going to write a book called My Friends in Dying and I'm going to include the gospel.
