My cousin's husband frequently sends my sister and I these text messages of Bible verses or something intended to be inspirational.
Now, I don't really find the particular verses that he sends to be uplifting or special in any way. It's almost as though they're randomly chosen and then fired off in a text message.
Here are some examples of some of the past texts that he's sent to me:
I think that he's under the impression that he's somehow "witnessing" or doing his Christ-like duty by sending us these text messages. In a way, I feel annoyed by them and I want to ask him to stop sending them to me.
But then I have to wonder if it's some kind of major sin to turn away something that's intended as being godly.
In truth, I really don't need to be uplifted by way of text messaged Bible verses and questions as to whether I prayed today. But the guilt I feel as I'm about to pick up the phone and say, "Please stop spamming my cell phone" is almost unbearable!
What would you do?

Have you read your Bible today? Have you praed as yet? God is waiting and waiting for more! Blessings!
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven!
