So I’ve started to notice more and more of my friends taking a stance against faith. Either by citing cases like the guys who said he calculated the world ending on May 21st or by out write stating they are atheist. I don’t know if I’ve always just turned a deaf ear to it all and ignored it because the discussion would just be uncomfortable or might rock the boat a little too much. Regardless of what I’ve ignored in the past, I can’t ignore it anymore. None of us can afford to ignore it anymore. For too long we’ve held our tongues. Now is the time to step out into boldness. Now I don’t know what this will look like for everyone. I just know that God has called us all to be his witnesses. Not just by leaving the comforts of our homes and traveling to far and distant lands, but sometimes just by speaking into the lives of those closest to us. Like everything else, it may be trying and it may be difficult. Especially if our friends and families are not used to us speaking up for Christ, they may ignore us or outright shoot us down. But it’s time to remember the importance of sharing His Love with the nations. It’s worth the struggle and it’s worth the discomfort. Sometimes the boat needs to be rocked enough so we all fall out.
