For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. (I Corinthians 1:18 ESV)
Fear Not… Then the Cross
I used to laugh at people who used old tea bags to sooth sunburn. Then I discovered it works. I used to laugh at old folks who budgeted down to the penny. Then I discovered that it works. I used to laugh at attic fans, ceiling fans, and window fans. Then I discovered they work.
There is a lot of stuff I laugh at, that maybe I shouldn’t.
Outsiders laugh at Christianity.
Much of the university system thinks the idea of God is goofy. Our governments seem hellbent on destroying or obscuring Christ’s church. Christians are portrayed in the entertainment industry as fools, hypocrites, or idiots.
Outsiders laugh at Christianity… and maybe that makes you insecure. Maybe it makes you doubt the work of Christ. Maybe it makes you afraid that the majority is correct.
Outsiders laugh at Christianity… but they shouldn’t.
Because those who laugh are perishing. But we are being saved.
Fear not… then the cross.
