Going Public

“Today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today.” Deuteronomy 11:26, 27 NLT

Small companies that grow into big ones usually go public by selling stock to raise money for further expansion or to accumulate wealth for the owners and employees.

Many people are enjoying the benefits of having invested in companies like Microsoft and Yahoo when they first went public and have watched the value of their stock increase.

There seems to be a lot of going public with what God says is sinful and not enough going public about what God tells us to go public.

Public immorality is at an all time high. People who indulge in what God calls abominations are going public demanding respectability and rights previously reserved for those who seek to abide by God’s standard of conduct and morality.

An aggressive vocal minority has gotten a lot of power and control over the courts who are now taking control of our country by rewriting laws instead of enforcing them, because they have lifetime appointments and no accountability at all to the majority who are supposed to be in control.

The situation in many instances has gotten so bad that those who dare go public with their Christian beliefs, that represent the values and beliefs of a vast majority, are persecuted, ridiculed, and shouted down by the vocal minority.

Unless more and more Christians live out the great commandment and obey the great commission by going public with their faith and letting God work through them to change values and conduct by changing hearts, the history of God’s chosen ones falling into captivity and bondage to pagans is going to repeat itself.

Father, give me the strength and courage to go public with my faith and help me to uphold Your standards. In Jesus' name, Amen
