The Silent Sermon
My grandfather would tuck his Bible under his arm and walk through the
small town where he lived to Sunday School and church services. For the
last five years of his life, he could not hear, and he never heard a
word of any sermon. Yet, he continued to go.
One day I asked him,"Grampa, why do you keep on going to Sunday School and church when you can't hear a word that the preacher says?"
"I keep on going." he replied, "even if I don't hear the preacher, but because I want people to know whose side I'm on."
Do people know whose side you're on? Do you want them to know? It's time for Christians to take a stand for Christ. We must be different from the world if we are to help it. Until we make it clear who is he that we serve, no one will ever pay attention to us. Make sure the world knows whose side you're on.
"...as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15)
