“I would just as soon listen to a gangster lecture on honesty as watch Hollywood portray the Bible.”
— Vance Havner
That statement was made over three decades ago and is as relevant for today as it was then. Movie stars, athletes, politicians, and millionaires try to promote the Word of God. I wonder if they even know how many books the Bible contains.
Great preaching and teaching by those who are unrecognized by the world have brought me closer to God. Indeed, many struggling congregations have provided the Christian soldiers for the upcoming generation. In addition, these nameless servants don’t pray for notoriety but faithfulness.
Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
Serve not for the recognition of men, but for that of God.
Give it some thought.
