I've been thinking about 2 points of view (the only 2 I've thought of or came across) regarding speaking up for Jesus; you know when a non-believer puts Christianity down and all, should we make our stand or just say nothing. On one hand, if we don't stand for Jesus, it might seem that we do not believe enough, or do not know enough about Him to speak up. And I guess this is the most common perspective, easily found in chain mails that say "forward this to everyone you know if you're not ashamed of Jesus" (or something along that line) or in the heated comments of youtube videos that contain religious content. On the other, some say that if we have to speak up for our God, doesn't it mean that He is less powerful than we think (cos we have to defend Him and stuff).
And I reckon there is a time for both approaches and it very much depends on the situations and what God speaks to you in that situation.
Like I mentioned before, spiritual warfare. But I don't feel mad in anyway like I used to. Instead sadness overwhelms me; how man can speak so confidently with so much conviction against something that they have never experienced. We think we're so smart don't we. Turning around to bite the hand that made us and saved us.
16 You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "He did not make me"? Can the pot say of the potter, "He knows nothing"?
Their eyes are blinded. LORD help them see Your beauty. Help me help them see. |
