Evidence of the Unseen?

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen."
(Hebrews 11:1)

How odd that this verse would appear on the first official posting to our new blogspot! Do you see what I see? No, no, no! Look closer...past the faith part, further than the substance, even beyond the hope...Now you see it: "...the evidence of things unseen."

As an author, business-person, friend, neighbor, or whatever role you play, is your evidence unseen? Where is the evidence of our faith? And how do we turn things unseen into visible opportunities to lead others to Christ? Just what exactly does the "real world," the world outside the four wheels of our churches, allow...And how can we influence the secular world just as our safe-house churches have influenced us?

This blogspot will answer that! One at a time, person-by-person, article-by-article, TFM will help budding Christian authors make their voices heard in otherwise unconventional arenas. That's our mission at TFM but, then again, isn't that our mission as Christians?

Just a few suggestions to make your Christian voice heard:

1. Replace your current salutations with phrases like "God bless" or "Truly blessed"
2. Invite non-Christian acquaintances into your safehouse of Sunday morning friends
3. Print short Christian messages or scripture references onto your business letterhead
4. Authors: Submit clean and wholesome ideas to non-Christian/secular publications

Together, we can turn this world around for Christ! Who says that only publishers like Christianity Today International, Lifeway, or Lighthouse will publish your Christian work?
