NO TIME FOR SILENCE
When Christ was born the heavens opened, angels sang their praise; even wisemen from afar came honoring “the new born King” with gifts.
If we remain silent, reluctant to give praise to Christ because of politics or shame, then listen to John the Baptist, “I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.” Mat. 3:11. God doesn’t need us. We’re privileged to know, praise and serve Him.
Because Christians are a shrinking minority and unbelievers boldly proclaim anti-Christian worldviews, let them not intimidate you or fear political harassment. We have God’s power in Christ’s gospel to change hearts, and in so doing, to change the world.
No matter how arrogant, boisterously loud, or articulate, are those opposing Christ, the Redeemer of all, they’re empty skirts and suits without hope--(Are you sure? They seem so confident.)---I am more confident than they, because they are without Christ. Forget not: “...there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12.
Therefore, confidently witness God’s love so the Holy Spirit can transform dead, unbelieving hearts into new creations alive in Christ.
