Speak Up!

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of The Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 

Topic for today is speaking up for what we believe. Not so much in words, but in our lifestyle. Anyone can memorize scripture, but not all can put it into practice. See, back in the day Paul and others who were apart of the first church, were unapologetic about their faith. They were not concerned about who they offended because The Gospel is offensive. Jesus took some critiscm just like they did. Guess what? We will too. Everyone is not on The Lord's side. We have to deal with family, old friends, co workers, and some church members who do not quite understand our faith. Which is why we are to be bold and speak up.

Jesus didn't save us to hide in the corner, but to stand boldly in our salvation. Why should we be ashamed that God, God, Himself poured Himself into flesh just to save us from death? If anything we should be screaming to the mountain top how great our faith is in Christ. He was bold when He died. In turn, we should be bold in this new found life we have through Him. Speak up! Do not let trials quiet your faith. Speak up! Do not allow sickness to silence your praise. So they took prayer out of school, bless your food anyway. Your job doesn't want to offend the Muslims so they say happy holidays instead of Merry Christmas. Say Merry Christmas anyways. The world is not suppose to agree with us and we are not to compromise with the world. There is power in our faith. Power that not only changed your life, but can change someone else's. Jesus is not embarrassing. He is not dead. He has risen! Be a voice. Be heard. Christ lives. Christ saves. Christ Always! Speak up! Believe it or not, the world is listening either way.
