Push back the darkness in your culture and shine the light of God’s word – no matter what the risk.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. In Jeremiah 36, the Lord had a specific message for King Jehoiakim and the people of Judah who had gone astray. And so, Jeremiah the prophet had his scribe write down God’s messages on a scroll and proclaimed to proclaim the Word to all who would hear. But King Jehoiakim would have none of it. Taking a knife, the King shred the scroll to bits, throwing it into the fire, section by section, until the whole thing was burned up. Now, you’d think this would’ve been enough to scare Jeremiah away. But instead, Jeremiah had yet another scroll written as God commanded! Oh friend, we live in a culture where proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus can be demoralizing and even risky. Yet, like Jeremiah, God has commanded us to speak up. So, draw courage from his example. Let’s push back the darkness in our culture and shine the light of God’s word. No matter what the risk.
