Silent Loud PreachingDoes this caption sound like a paradox? Someone has said, “I had rather see a sermon any day than hear one.” The power of example has long been recognized as one of the best teachers. We are recognized by those from without as being a Bible-believing, Bible-studying, and a Bible-quoting fellowship. There is no better way to confirm this belief than bringing your Bibles to class and worship. Another has said, "if you walk a mile to worship with y-our Bible in your hand, you preach a sermon a mile long." It is very important to make a good impression upon those who are not members of the Church. However, if we bring our Bibles only to be seen of others, then we are just as the hypocrites who prayed in the streets for the same purpose—Matthew 6:5-~"They have their reward." Bring your Bibles to study the will of God. Then others will "see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." We will see you at Bible class and worship Sunday— WITH YOUR BIBLE IN YOUR HAND! —John Simpson |
