What do we talk about?
Several years ago,
Two sisters were having breakfast
Both were Christians
They went to different kinds of churches
They knew they had issues about which they differed
One of them said to the other
“ When we finish breakfast I want to talk to you about Church”
The other sister said in a sweet tone,
“and when we finish talking about church
I want to talk to you about Jesus”
Until I cut back,
I was eating 5 planned breakfast a week with men
This morning I stopped at Hardee’s
8 to 12 men my age and above
All of them go to church somewhere
They might have conflict if they talked of church
Do they disagree about Jesus?
I doubt it, but still he is not mentioned
I was attending other breakfast
In three of them most went to the same church
Of those I still did not hear much talk
About Jesus
I wish I could say Jesus as Billy Graham does
It has shock value, where that name is not spoken
We speak to one another
About what we think is wonderful
About what we think is bad
And if I buy something that works
You cannot stop me from talking about it
If Jesus is valued by us
If He produces what He promises
Can any one explain
Why we almost never mention His name
If we can’t say it
By seeing you love toward others
On how you live, will they ask a
What it the reason for the way you live
The reason for your hope
How long has it been
Since someone asked you about Jesus
Because you speak His name
Or love with His name
Think about it
And mention His name
It is at the name of Jesus
That the knees bow and the tongues confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory
Of God the Father
