“Fools say to themselves, “There is no God."They sin and commit evil deeds; of them does what is right. The LORD looks down from heaven at the human race,to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God."(Psalm 14:1-2)
Eleven months out of the year all we hear is “remove that Scripture from the wall”; “you are not allowed say that”; “no prayers allowed”; “your Bible can’t be on your desk”; “you can’t play that music out loud”; and other various comments. Most people sit idly by and graciously
go along with the program, politically correct, squashing God and squashing His Word.
But now it is
December. People are celebrating the
holidays,
winter festivals, and sounds of the
season! But wait…….
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
Are you hearing what people are singing? Better yet, are
they hearing? The same people who want to remove prayer from the public and God from the dollar bill are singing “O Come O Come Immanuel” and “Joy to the World, the Savior’s Born”! The same co-workers who asked you to turn your Gospel music down are now singing, “Silent Night” and “Little Drummer Boy”. Are these merely cute songs of the season or an
opening to be led to know Christ personally?
DO YOU HEAR WHAT I HEAR?
Oh, how foolish we can be, even as believers. We are missing such a great opportunity to share the Gospel, even if it’s in a song. What will happen? Will they turn off the
CHRISTmas music? Will they take down the decorations? Will they ban gift–giving? So what if they do! We need to take advantage of
every opportunity we have to share Christ before it too late.
CHRISTmas has already come.
Easter (Resurrection Day) has already come.
JESUS is coming back to claim what is His, but we must claim Him to be our own first! Let’s not be foolish. People are being misled. However,
wise men and
wise women, boys and girls,
still seek Him!
“Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!”
(Galatians 6:7 New Living Translation)
Let's take
every opportunity to share CHRIST while we are able!
