Electrons and Papyrus

Billions of trees fell.  Buildings were constructed.  Cribs were crafted for the children of the cutters.  Trinkets were carved to sell to men.  And papyrus was done away with when man found a way to make the saw dust receive ink and feather.

Since that day, the advent of paper, trillions of writings have been created.  Since that day billions of pages have been destroyed.  Most of those papers should never have been written, for they contained foolish, limited, evil, and destructive teachings and thoughts.  But we are aware that millions, perhaps billions, of them also contained lovely God born truths.

It’s our turn now.  We have this electronic paper to write on.  The wicked have noticed the value of writings.  Shouldn’t the people of God realize it also?

Blogs of wickedness abound now.  And a few of God’s people have begun their own response.  But there is room for far more of us to speak the truth.  You might not be comfortable with telling the world what you know about Christianity.  But let me give you a helpful kick in the seat of your pants, please.  I won’t put all my leg muscles into that kick.  Open a blog and write a post of what you DO know.  It’s fine to start with something as fundamental as “Jesus loves you.”  I guarantee that as soon as you post that, something else will come to mind.

The world is speaking lies with a very loud voice.  I urge God’s people in Jesus to respond with that beautiful whisper of truth which speaks louder than any man can yell.  Allow me an observation please.  If you don’t speak up, who will?  And how do you know that God hasn’t been willing to give you things to say?  We’re not dead yet.  Why not speak for the One you will stare at lovingly for eternity?  If the Apostles didn’t write, you’d be stumbling far more than you are.  And if we allow the wicked to outweigh our writings, where will those who are seeking the Lord turn?  It’s such a simple thing to write what we know.  So very simple that even a child can do it when it learns to write a letter or two:  “Jesus loves you”.
