“And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?” Romans 10:14
Did you know unbelievers love certain Bible verses? How can that be?
Well, through long experience Solomon and I have discovered that unbelievers love to use Bible verses as weapons to silence us, especially when we’re preaching against sin. “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1) and “He that is without sin . . . let him first cast a stone” (John 8:7) are two of their favorites.
To them we can now add a third: “Do unto others . . ” Yes, now even the Golden Rule has been thrown in our faces!
While Solomon was preaching at the table this past week, an irate grey-haired man with veins popping out of his neck screamed “Love thy neighbor as thyself!”
Putting down the microphone, Solomon told the old man “It’s because we love you that we’re telling you about God’s salvation.”
“This is not love,” he shouted back, “this is noise pollution! You’re making a lot of noise that nobody wants to hear!”
“Sir, you need to get right with God”
“And you need to show some of that love you’re talking about.” He scurried away with his hands covering his ears, screaming “Love thy neighbor as thyself! Love thy neighbor as thyself!”
Well, he was right about one thing: Nobody wants to hear bad news, and the the news that one is born into the bondage of sin, needful of repentance and redemption – that’s bad, bad to the point of sounding too loud.
But unless you hear the bad news first, you can’t hear the good news that your sins were forgiven two thousand years ago and that by accepting Jesus into your life, you are free to “go and sin no more.”
Bearing witness to Christ in the middle of Times Square is not a calling for sissies, dear saints. All Jesus promises about the rejection and mockery of the world comes to sting us every preaching day of our lives. But spread the good news we must for that is our mission, and we thank you for your love and support without which it wouldn’t be possible Amen.
