Are my responsibilities getting in the way of sharing the Good News? I hear the Gospel, and I take it to heart, but am I just too busy to act on it? And, what can I do about it?

Just get rid of the home repairs and fitness (and maybe even debt service/capitalization--which I'm not exactly sure what that means) and that should help!

That means pay the bank for the business I "own"...not really an option.

So,
How I watch my kids' sport..
How I lead...
How I do home repair...
How I pay my business debt down...
How I treat my family, associates at work, peers...
The act itself preaches...that doesn't fit Luke 8 so well???
I get it, but all that stuff drowns out the Good News, doesn't it?

Hollywood: all that stuff doesn't drown out the Good News in any way, shape or form! HOW other parents see you parent when your child's team doesn't perform well or the refs are giving short shrift trumpets the Gospel.
How you discipline yourself for physical exercise speaks volumes about the Gospel.
Being a boss with integrity and love preaches His Word.
Paying the bills on time and treating your debtors in an honoring way is a great way to talk about Him.
Being a good steward of what God has entrusted to you preaches to the neighbors.
It all matters, man. Don't compartmentalize spreading the Good News. We're always "on."
