The Greatest Story Ever Told
I just got back to the office after speaking at Lakeland Christian Academy's chapel this morning. I hit a few funny topics, but one got real serious and it hit a nerve with me, in all honesty. I was asking a few of the students about their testimony, and they got all tense and quiet, one person finally saying that her testimony was flat-out boring.
BORING?! There is no way a testimony is boring. I don't get how people don't realize that there is no way that a testimony is boring. It really bothers me.
Your testimony is a story; A story about you and God; A story about how He has worked in and through your life, and God is not boring. So often, we look at our lives as unworthy tales of God's power, but we are so wrong, I can't even begin to tell you. God's power is not shown in how He saved us, God's power is shown in THAT He saved us.
I know there isn't a catchy bit of humor here, but I really wish the body of Christ would realize what kind of power its story has. It is a story of salvation and hope. It is a story written by God, directed by Christ. It is a story of God's modern-day miracles. It is truly the greatest story ever told.
Telling it often,
Bobby
