Pumpkins
A woman was asked by a coworker, "What is it like to be a Christian?" The coworker replied, "It is like being a pumpkin. God picks you from the patch, brings you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. Then he cuts off the top and scoops out all the yucky stuff. He removes the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc., and then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside of you to shine for all the world to see."

Always Be Prepared to Give an Answer
By Hank Hanegraaff
Most Christians are aware of their responsibility to reach a dying world ith God's message. No less of an authority than Jesus exhorts us to roclaim the gospel (Matt. 10:27) and make disciples of all nations (Matt. 28:19).However, there is another dimension often neglected in evangelism; namely, the defense of the gospel. The very Bible exhorting Christians to preach the gospel urges us to contend for the faith as well (Jude 3), just as the first Christians consistently offered reasoned defenses of their faith before unbelievers.
