I get to encourage others because we are instructed to encourage each other, as a follower of Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
I encourage others to read their Bibles because studying The Word shows us who Jesus is. (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:9-16; 2 Timothy 2:15)
I proclaim Jesus because he is the only one in true savior. (John 1-3)
