Out Loud.

"You are the light of the world. a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
(Matthew 5:14-16)


Our lives as followers of Christ are lives to be lived out loud. We should not be silent. We should be speaking out in truth and in love, instead of quietly standing by.
Here I stand, watching a world search desperately for a reason why. We have the answer they are looking for! Yet we simply keep our mouths shut and... do nothing?
In a world locked in a cage of confusion, we hold the key to understanding. Yet we seem to believe withholding the key to their own heart's freedom is us doing our bit to be 'polite'. Is there a problem here?
And suddenly we become nervous when thinking of telling others about the love of Christ. Suddenly we feel 'embarrassed', maybe even 'ashamed'. We wonder what people will think. All these self-conscious thoughts are going through our minds, while the world is suffocating in a deathbed of lies. Are we really going to do nothing about this?
The eternal love of God is far more important than your insecurities.
I will not be silent. Let us live our lives for Jesus Christ, loud and clear.
