would you be angry? There is something worse than that to be angry about,
people who do not take God at His word. "Christians" who know the cure for
eternal death and separation from God and keep silent. *Romans 10:9 that if
you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that
God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart
one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.* Many believe that if a "Christian" lives a good life it will be
good enough and others will see and yet, this is contrary to the
scriptures. Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have
not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not
heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they
preach unless they are sent? As it is written:“How beautiful are the feet
of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good
things!” I think of the quotes by Charles Spurgeon - “Have you no wish for
others to be saved? Then you're not saved yourself, be sure of that!” and
also, "You have never truly found Jesus if you do not tell others about
Him!". I have to ask those that keep silent, where is the love that is
suppose to be shared? Why are you keeping silent and not proclaiming to all
the love of Jesus? I know that there are times that I fall short and am
broken over it. Brethren, time is short, Jesus is coming back. One final
thought to those who are proclaiming and are told not to by others. Acts
4:18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach
in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them,
“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God,
you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and
heard.”
