Psalm 145:12 (NIV)
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts and
the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
Some years ago I heard about a clergyman who had a friend
who was an actor. The actor was drawing large crowds of people, and the
clergyman was preaching to a few in the church. He said to his actor friend,
“Why is it that you draw great crowds, and I have no audience at all? Your
words are sheer fiction, and mine are unchangeable truth.” The actor’s reply
was quite simple. “I present my fiction as though it were truth; you present
your truth as though it were fiction.” I fear that so often we Christians give
the idea that the truth is fiction by the way we live and by the lack of
dedication to the teachings of our Lord.
Thought for today:
Do I truly know that the word of God is infallible?
