Rehearsal

It's an interesting word. It generally means to practice or to go over a subject to ready for a public demonstration. It's a very good idea to rehearse before you go on stage. It's a very good idea to rehearse before a wedding like we did tonight.

I am wondering if there is ever a time to rehearse one's faith. I'm sure we can agree that rehearsing an opportunity to present Christ to another individual is a good plan. Many of us have done so at evangelism training classes. What I'm asking though is if there is ever a time that we are not giving a first hand testimony and are only rehearsing.

I conclude that we no more rehearse our daily faith than we rehearse breathing. We are always on. Lord, help us.

1 John 3:10 (NASB)
10 "By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother."
