Paul Became Little

“That man who once persecuted us is now preaching the very message he used to try to destroy.” Their response was to recognize and worship God because of me!”  Galatians 1:21-24 NKJV

Are you a keyboard warrior? Unfortunately, that is what many of us have become.  Guilty here, too! It is easy to criticize while hidden. It is easy to condemn, shame, and cancel behind keyboards on Twitter, Facebook, etc. We are seeing a lot of that these days.  How weak we are when we do not stand up for what is right! Yep, it is even easier to fold like a deck of cards to the snowflake cancel culture!  They do not understand history should be learned from, not erased! 

It is easier to be a champion of the little guy while trying to live like royals behind a monitor screen!   It is easier to preach to others but fall short of  showing how good God is.  He isn’t One  that wants to remain hidden.  He wants us to seek Him, wear Him, and strive to be like Him. He wants us to display His love everywhere.  The keyboard, by itself, simply won’t suffice. Shame is all over me right now.

Anyway, I was reading an American Thinker post (click here to read) about Jim Caviezel and his movie about the Apostle Paul.  This line stings or SHOULD sting if you actually yearn for God(paraphrased):  “If you want to become big with God, you must be little first....” Little for a big God...can you do it?  As a mere human, my mind immediately wants to know the how, when, where and what!  “Oh ye of little faith...” Why do I question Him?😢

Below is a speech Jim gave about what he learned while filming.  Listen...and be the difference!
