The skeptic asked me, \u201cWhy do Christians talk so much about God?\u201d Good question. Everyone talks about what is important to them, what\u2019s in their heart. Maybe it\u2019s about kids or grandkids, or the weather, or ball scores, or the latest movie or song, or a new found friend. So the path is from the heart to the tongue. While Christians do the same, something additional is in our heart. Moses wrote God\u2019s laws\/commands on tablets of stone (Exodus 24:12). Twice, the writer of Proverbs used the phrase, \u201cThe tablet of your heart\u201d (Prov. 3:3; 7:3), indicating we are to write God\u2019s laws\/commands on our hearts \u2013 the true inner self which determines who we really are \u2013 to be felt, remembered, and shared. Jesus added, \u201cOut of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.\u201d (Luke 6:45). So, here\u2019s the Christian path \u2013 God\u2019s law\/commands given in a lasting, permanent, unchanging manner (\u201ctablets of stone\u201d), transferred to us (\u201ctablet of your heart\u201d), and then shared from our heart with others. What a wonderful opportunity we have at the Christmas season to share with others \u2013 from tablet to tongue.<\/p>\n
Join me this week in praying for the following global concerns:
\n\u2022 Pray for Cathie who will have another biopsy Monday morning in Houston.
\n\u2022 Pray for those who serve in the University of British Columbia community of Vancouver, Canada (Craig, Peter, Suzanne, Rich), where 57% claim to be atheists.
\n\u2022 Pray for Brad and Rhonda was they seek to start a church in Steveston, BC, Canada, where 25,000 people, representing 125 ethnic groups live within 1.5 mile of the city center and where there is no evangelical church.
\n\u2022 Pray for missionaries who use the pre-Christmas season to share what\u2019s in their hearts. From Dave & Carla: \u201cAs you gather around the lights of Christmas remember that much of the world is still in darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
