Shut up or you're out...

[m2pinggggggg]

ummmm.....I'm wondering where we get slapped and insulted..by the world, and where the Holy Spirit takes the slapping. We're fragile when we work in the flesh....but,.....when we let Him go past us...and not have to catch up with His witness through us, we still are not gauranteed that we won't feel the pain of rejection. Lift up the Jesus cause relentlously, in love, gentleness, meekness, and joy! You might get thrown out of your membership. Aren't people all over the world getting thrown out of their life for proclaiming Christ! WE don't have any right to think it couldn't happen here, soon. Preach Jesus! Losing a membership for bringing life in Christ to a fitness place would be an oxy,eh:scratch:lol2:thumb

I had the same problem at my job,I left a tract,the client called and the boss said never to do it again.Who do I obey my boss or God?major duh-Go to God in prayer and ask what He wants you to do.In my case I was told to stay but be more descreet about my witness,so insted of leaving tracts at each stop,I might say God bless,or Amen if the tip is a larger one.Just get in prayer and follow the Master,s orders specific to your situation.

I think this is very good advice. And don't forget to rejoice! (as seen in Acts 5:41)

Maybe you should bring the mission statement of the YMCA to the lady, and in love and humility, point out to her that you were just following the core ideas of the organization. Maybe she will leave because she is unaware that she is working for a "Christian" organization. :idunno

Somebody should remind them what the 'C' stands for in YMCA

Seems I recall a report a few years back that they had changed their name from Young Mens Christian Assoc. to just YMCA with the letters having no significance.

If i remember correctly the head quarters wanted to remove themselves from being a "christian" organization.

That change obviously has not happened as they do say "Young Men's Christian Association" in the history section of their website. They also say "Putting Christian principals into practice" in their mission statement.

Should I try to fight this and go and have a meeting with her and possibly try to shear the gospel with her at the risk of my membership?
or should i just be quiet?
It is her domain down their after all.

turtle - you do what you gotta do for the Lord *hug* you should be able to freely speak about our Lord & Saviour Jesus :pray

wait... doesn't YMCA stand for Young Men Christian Association?? :twitch tell them to take the C out because it seems to be anything but christian if you can't talk about Christ :tsk

[harth1026]

If you take the C out of YMCA, you get the YMA. Which happens to be the Young Muslim Association. Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

Yes, I agree. But there will be a day where if you openly use His Name, you just won't get booted out of a club. You'll be charged with treason. This is just a fore-shadow of things to come.
