DECLARE THE GOSPEL EVERYWHERE!
In modern society, where hype often looms larger than
truth, one can easily become ‘spiritually jaded’ and buy into a worldview which
suggests that your spiritual voice is far too inconsequential to be heard.
Fact is, the Creator gave you a distinctive mission and a
unique message that the world (aware or not) urgently needs to experience and
explore. You matter.
Let’s prayerfully consider an instructive allegory:
“Tell me the weight of a snowflake,” the dove required of
the mouse.
“Nothing more than nothing,” was his dismissive answer.
“Since that is your belief, I must share my story,” the
dove replied excitedly.
“One winter day, I was perched on the branch of an
evergreen when it began to snow – not heavily, not a raging blizzard – but
descending ever so gracefully without wind or sound. Since I had nothing
better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my
branch. The number that fell that day was 3,741,952. But when
snowflake number 3,741,953 dropped onto my branch, weighing ‘nothing more than
nothing’ as you say, the branch immediately broke.”
“Perhaps,” concluded the dove, “one tiny voice can change
the whole world.”
Years ago, my brother, Bishop Edwin Bass, penned a book
entitled, “I Won’t Be Silent Anymore.” I stand in wholehearted agreement
with his title thesis. Sisters and brothers, it’s our time to breathe out
truth, i.e. to freely share unvarnished gospel truth with contemporary
society. Political correctness has caused so many of us to mute our
voices while the world so audaciously advances an agenda of
unrighteousness.
So speak. According to the Word, the whole earth
“eagerly waits for the revealing [the manifestation] of the sons of God.”
(Romans 8:19, NKJV) My friend, it’s a life or death matter. DECLARE
THE GOSPEL EVERYWHERE!
