TELL THEM
Today's reading: Jeremiah 47-52

"This is what the Lord says: Tell the whole world, and keep nothing back!.." Jeremiah 50:2 NLT

The entire purpose of the book of Jeremiah is to turn God's people away from their sins and back to God.

The entire purpose of the Bible is the same, wouldn't you think?

Through out its pages we are faced with the miraculous, the inspiring, the sad and the hopeful.

To get the full extent of God's Word we have to accept the whole thing, the easy parts, the hard parts, the parts that leave us scratching our heads and the parts our hearts and lives don't agree with.

We are also given the command to tell the world what the Bible says, all the parts.

The parts that are no longer considered politically correct.

The parts that go against certain now-acceptable lifestyles.

The parts that might cause someone to feel the least bit convicted.

The parts, church folks, that would give hope to the people that we wouldn't consider 'church material'.

We are to keep nothing back...in order that His Word might be preached and His salvation proclaimed!
