Dare 2 Share

This past weekend I went to a conference in Denver called Dare 2 Share. I'm sure several people know the feelings of going to big conferences like this, whatever the cause is, you feel all fired up about that for at least a week afterward. Well that's what Dare 2 Share is; I find that Dare 2 Share can give me enough fuel to run on for about a month, just like church on Sunday will keep you fueled for a couple of days, and a nice little fellowship session with a few of your Christian friends will get you fueled up for a couple of hours.

The main focus of Dare 2 Share, is to give teenage students like myself the fuel they need to share the gospel with their friends. This year they had a 'Blaze' theme, and there were some nice analogies. To start a fire you need three things: a spark, fuel, and oxygen. If you already have the fuel and oxygen, just a little spark can do a lot. The way I see it is, you need oxygen to breath, just the same as you need to read the bible, so the bible represents the oxygen. The fuel is an event like Dare 2 Share, or an inspiration, something that really motivates you to share your faith. Once you have those two, it just takes a spark. When you see a friend of yours, and you know they are going to hell, that's your opportunity to make a spark, start a fire, and change that persons life.

In my own time, after Dare 2 Share, I was trying to find a video on YouTube that my youth pastor had shown to us after Dare 2 Share a few years ago, well I didn't find the exact video but I found something very similar, also from Dare 2 Share http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nddtcwF3flY Imagine if you knew someone that you could have, and should have witnessed to but you didn't, and the time came to pass; it's too late. Imagine what would happen if you knew someone that died, and they happened to go to hell. Would they write you a letter like the one in that movie?

I want this specific post to kind of provide a little bit of fuel for everyone that reads it, but let me know what you think of it. http://vi3gamehkr.blogspot.com for those of you reading this from Facebook.
