14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome.16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
I'm not ashamed to tell people of my faith, but I think for the most part I only do it when asked in a fairly direct way. I love Paul's energy to share his faith with everyone. I pray I can get some of that type of energy passion or at minimum share Jesus when I see those invitations waiting from someone in need that I have probably passed up so many times in the past.
have a great day
the second portion of the chapter gets into the evil/wicked....and all the things they do. I'm suddenly thinking about the difference between me and "them". In God's eyes, do I look different from them?.....I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with the answer. I guess the major difference is that I have confessed that I'm screwing it up, and have asked for forgiveness. I really want to make sure that when God sees me....he's sees something different, and a heart after his own.
