Courage

Courage…

In an experiment, scientists placed people who witnessed an event in a room with actors who were scripted to lie about the event. After the actors gave false testimony, the test subjects also gave the wrong testimony, going along with the majority.

They refused to witness the truth. It sounds cowardly and immoral, but it’s no more immoral than most of us who witnessed the power of God and the truth of his salvation in our lives. But because we’re afraid of the majority or rejection, we restrain our witness.

We keep quiet, and they keep perishing. We’re no better than the people in the experiment. If we condemn those people who knew the truth but refused to tell it, then we have to condemn ourselves because we know the truth. We have to bear witness of the truth to our families, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, strangers, or those of other nations.

Share the gospel because the one who refuses to bear witness to the truth is not much better than a liar. But the one who does bear witness is the true and faithful witness of the Lord.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

Bear witness of the truth to all those around you today. Refuse to go along with the majority.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always
