Stay Silent or Cry Out

"Are we scared to stand out from the crowd?
Make a difference in our own town?
If we stay silent with our voices now
The rocks will cry out"

If you were to answer that question honestly, what would it be? Mine would be, yes sometimes if not most I am afraid to speak the truth. To be set apart. 

But why?

Cause I don't want to be different, I want to "fit" in? That is a lame excuse.

God doesn't need us. His creation screams His name all the time.

God gave us a charge to go out and preach the gospel. But that doesn't mean we need to go to far away countries to do that. Our own towns have people who need to hear it too. Sometimes just standing out and not doing the "in" thing is speaking out, louder than words ever could.

Paul says I am not ashamed of the gospel. I wish that were always true with me. I need to learn to step out of my comfort zone, but I can only do that through the grace of God.

If you have a chance you should listen to the whole song by the Newsboys its called One Shot.
