If you knew that someone had the cure for cancer and kept it to themselves, would you be angry? How do you think you would feel knowing that someone you know, cared about, loved, is going to die because of the actions, or really lack of action of another individual or group? In contemplating those thoughts and emotions, there is something far worse than that to be angry about, people who do not take God at His word. There are “Christians” who know the cure for eternal death and separation from God and keep silent and you may be one of them. It is written in *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 enough for others to see and want to know about a Jesus they have not heard about, and yet, this is contrary to the scriptures. It is written in*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?* I think of two 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 your heart for the love that is supposed to be shared? Why are you keeping silent and not proclaiming to “all” the love that you have for the Lord Jesus if you really have any at all? How much do you actually hate those that you say you care about to not share with them the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ? I want everyone that reads this to know that there are times that I fall short, more times than I would like to admit, and am deeply broken over it. Brethren, as I pray for you I ask humbly that you pray for me as well, time is short, Jesus is coming back sooner than later. One final thought, if you are one of those who are trying to proclaim and are told by your employer, family, or community not to, pray fervently over what is written in *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.”* In simple terms my brethren, Preach It, may our gracious God give us all boldness, Jesus is coming back soon, and may God have mercy on those that do not take Him at His word!
