Interview with an Athiest

I don't know what ran through your head as you watched this, but the thought that came into my mind was how sad it was that this unbelieving pagan, a sworn enemy of Our God, could explain and articulate the Christian faith better than many Christians can in this day and age. Why, in the name of all common sense, should the devil's children know the faith of God's children better than God's children do? That is twisted, the total opposite of the way things should be. And yet - sadly - disturbingly - wrongly - that is how it is with many Christians today. They have fallen into a trap of complacency and ignorance, and are not fulfilling the call that Christ gives to us as Christians: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15) They are fearful of what the world will think or say of them, what the world will do to them as Followers of the One True God. They deny Christ by silence and compromise. Yet Christ plainly says, "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him will I also confess before My Father Who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men , him will I deny before My Father Who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33). And the Gospel will offend people. The Truth of Christ is divisive. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth," Christ states. "I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

God make us Christians who follow Him whole-heartedly rather than half-heartedly; Christians who use our God-given weapons to good effect rather than wielding them sluggishly or not at all - Christians who do not hesitate to bear the holy Name of the Son of God - Christians who throw fear of man to the wind, and hide the fear of God in their hearts.

Persevero,
