Today, a million voices on the media and in the public square are entertaining people who are spiritually inquisitive and gullible. If they are not recommending Jesus as Saviour and Lord, they have already abandoned the truth. They enjoy popularity and the money which often follows. But believers in Jesus must not be shaken: God’s truth does not disappear when people refuse to obey Him … it remains to disturb their consciences in the hope that they will repent. If not, it will accuse them before Jesus on the Final Day. The church does not fail when it is not popular; it fails the Lord when it seeks the easy way and stops evangelising. Let us encourage each other to keep our heads amid so much spiritual confusion; and let us reassess our responsibility for evangelism, so that we do not fail the Lord. Prayer: Lord of the Church. Thank You for the many martyrs and others who have enabled the church to grow at such great personal cost – as other people have seen that true believers are not frightened by wrong public pressure. Forgive me when I am intimidated by unbelievers, so that I shrink back from speaking the truth and thereby disown my Saviour. Please help me to be clear headed, fully aware of the world’s opposition, so that people will be saved as they hear the gospel and respond in repentance and faith. May I be willing to speak about Jesus, out of love for Him and for those around me who He died to save. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
