Opinions

Last weekend, I did 2 lots of taste testing for a market research company. And for my troubles, I was paid $100 in grocery gift cards.

I've been asked, and paid, for my opinion on breakfast cereals, milk, lamb, beef, ice cream, websites, fish burgers and more.

But much less often are we asked for or actively seeked after for our opinion on God and the 'spiritual things' in life.

Put it this way: no one is going to pay me for my thoughts on Jesus and Christianity. Rather, it's those thoughts that often people would prefer not to hear, which is a shame because perhaps it's those thoughts (our testimony) that they need to hear most.

In the grand scheme of things, my opinion on which ice cream was yummier will not matter much. It probably won't be remembered in a few years time, it won't help a life and it won't save a life.

But my opinion, thoughts and testimony about God and who He has shown Himself to be - that can make a difference.

So.. make sure you give the opinions that matter, even if there is no obvious 'payoff' straight away. You never know what God can do with your voice :)
