A Bang Or A Whimper

The days of big "bang" fire-crackers in the back yard are over, but I guess we all still love to hear the mighty "wham-o" of the heavy ones at the community fire-works displays. Magnificent pyrotechnic shows bring on the "ah-h-h's" from the whole crowd as each rocket seems more beautiful than the one before. What does it stand for? Freedom, a great country, one nation under God, and much more!

Why then does the Church of the living God, with its mighty arsenal of power and glory of the Lord of Lords and King of Kings, hesitate to proclaim boldly, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Why be apologetic about church, about faith, about your love for the living God? Share it boldly, wear it proudly, beat the drums! Join the parade! Get on the band-wagon!

Let's celebrate the Fourth...and our Faith...not with a whimper, but with a bang!
