People sure seem to get a big kick out of attacking Christians. From so-called “honest” atheists, to outright God haters, to muslims, and to everyday garden variety heathens. People consider us fair game and open targets. So I say power to the people under the steeple.
Yeah, power to the people who know THE Truth.
Because we are the salt and light of this world. And that Truth has set us free for all of eternity.
Those of us Christians, who share the grace message from God’s word, freely, are accused of thinking we’ve cornered the market on truth. And they don’t like us to speak in absolutes with total unblinking confidence. But that’s exactly what we can do. And should do. Because, if the Bible isn’t the word of God, and the message of Jesus isn’t true, then we are the biggest fools.
But since it is the word of God and the message is true, then we who believe in trust in it are the only ones who aren’t fools. And since we know, it’s true, and we know that God wants us to share the truth with anyone and everyone who will listen, we have an obligation to speak up. After all faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
And He gave power to the people who believe and trust in Him right there in his word. Wow, somebody should write a song about that. Oh wait. I did. Way back in the 90s. Here are the lyrics. And I’ll share the song in The Power of God’s Love podcast:
The Power of the Word
So you’ve been thinking that you’ve got a whole lot to fear
And you keep asking, “What on earth am I doin’ here?”
Well I wouldn’t tell you it’s as gloomy as you’ve heard
You just need the power of the Word
I know you’ve heard that if at first you don’t succeed
Just keep on trying and you’re bound to fill the need
But you don’t believe all that stuff applies to you
And without the power what can you do
Well the power of the Word takes an ordinary bird
And it gives him songs to sing and wings to soar
With the power of the Word even when your vision’s blurred
All your dreams will be fulfilled forevermore
Numbers are crunching and seconds are ticking on
Your hopes are fading until you wonder where they’ve gone
But you wouldn’t worry that your life could be deterred
If you had the power of the Word
Chorus
And if you’re asking, “What’s in it for me?”
Well, give up your soul and I think you will see….
Eternity…eternity…eternity……….
