“ ‘If anyone sins because they do not speak up when they hear a public charge to testify regarding something they have seen or learned about, they will be held responsible. Leviticus 5:1 (NIV)
Recently there was a funny little test going around Facebook the one could use to determine their religious preference. All you had to do was answer a couple of questions and follow the flow chart to find your answer. In my case if I wanted to worship one god, I liked bacon and was not a naturally annoying person I should become a boring, generic Christian. I beg your pardon! Is that really how the world sees us, boring and generic?
Sadly, those are not the only adjectives that are used to describe the Christian community. Words like hypocritical, weak, mislead, judgmental, and out of touch with reality are just a few that come to mind. I think we should make the world take it back! We should state the truth of about God with what we "have seen and what we have learned about" him. He is certainly not boring or generic. And the work he does in our lives isn't either. The way we live needs to reflect that Fact so the world can see it. We need to speak up and make a loud statement that gives testimony about the awesome God we serve.
