MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE

"The Child of God Cannot be Silenced!"

We’ve come to think that for doctrine to be “sound,” it shouldn’t make a sound! In some fellowships today, our reservation could almost be confused with rigor mortis!

The world is understandably unimpressed with most people’s religion, including Christianity. In a society where people lose their voices for days after attending ball games, can hardly walk after a weekend of skiing, and look with horror at credit card bills after a bout of holiday shopping, it’s sad that you can’t even tell when a Christian has been before the Throne of God!

The unending blessings of God, and our welcomed presence into Heavenly Places, either aren’t being experienced, or they fail in comparison to a good movie or a playoff. With certainty, we know it must be the former. May the reader search their heart.

There is a realm the child of God is called to, no, commanded to experience. It is the heavenly realm where the peace, love, and joy of God flourish, making Life in Christ not only glorious, but most visible to others. This is our “witness.” This is our Joy and Strength, and those finding it cannot be silenced!
