Imagine the community actually having to call believers together and threaten them to not speak about Jesus any more! What would we do? Oh yeah, we don't speak about Jesus without the threats! We are afraid someone might be offended by our narrow beliefs.
This was not the case with the first Christians. They were bold among threats! They said, "we will not stop testifying to what we have seen and heard." They were committed to telling everyone about Jesus. Even in the midst of public threats. In fact, when they assembled together they prayed for corporate boldness.
Maybe this would be a good prayer for believers today. I think it would. Let's pray today that we will be bold to talk about Jesus in the midst of a "non-threatening culture". Who knows, someone might actually get saved. You might even have a great story to tell about how God used you to share His truth with others.
That would be awesome.
