As I was looking over yesterday's message it got me to think what are the biggest things that are the loudest in today's society and culture.
1. trump
2. pride
3. abortion
4. black live matter
5. immigration
6. prostitution
The list could go on and on and at the end where is Jesus. Jesus is in His rightful place in heaven, that hasn't changed but what has changed is we as Christians are not bold in talking about Him anymore. We no longer want to offend people, so we just stop talking about Him. Instead, we need to be bold like it says in Acts 28:31 (ESV) which says, Proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance. We need to go forth and be strong and courageous as it says in Joshua 1:9 (ESV), Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” God is with us all the time and when we step out and be bold in telling others about Him, He is with us and will give us the tools to do so.
Nowhere in the Bible does it talk about being weak in talking and proclaiming about Jesus. It always talks about being bold and strong and stuff of that nature. We need to stand for Jesus in boldness and proclaim the good news. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. God didn't send his son to die so that we may be quiet but that we might live and proclaim and stand for Jesus.
Let us stand for Jesus today!!!!
***Some of the things listed above are sins, some are legal issues, and some are just wanted to be heard. I get it. The list above wasn't to bash anything or anyone like that but to say where is Jesus,***
