Mark 16:15-16 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned"
I have been thinking about how blessed I am to be living in a nation where I can worship freely without persecution. Speaking freely here about my faith now, however, is becoming more and more difficult. This is largely due to the shifting in our culture towards censorship, and how Christianity has been weaponized by some people. These things are certainly concerning, and yet I remain full of peace. The time may be coming that we are truly silenced and persecuted for our belief in Christ, but that time has not yet come.
So, how am I using the freedoms that are still currently in place? Am I doing all I can do to share the good news of the Gospel with others? How can I effectively do this important command during this time of global pandemic? It is true that we are all limited in our interaction capabilities, so we must get creative about how to reach out to others. Am I checking in on my neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family? I could be doing better. Am I living in a state of fear during this time, or a place of peace and faith? What am I showing others during this difficult time in our world? Can I be a beacons of light and faith in the face of all this strife and turmoil? Can I offer the hope and peace that is only found through a relationship with Jesus by sharing His love with others? Am I using the precious time God has given me for the purpose we are all called to?
