Millions
of Americans read the Editorial page of the
newspapers and many of them read the "Opinions" or "Letters" columns
in the Editorial section. For many years have
provided newspapers this open forum for readers to present
their
views and opinions in an public effort to change
sympathies, views and actions.
If common
people may present their personal views or the views of
the group they represent,
surely we, as Christians, should use this avenue to present
the truth of God to all who will read! Not only may we
have the high privilege of representing the Lord of heaven
and earth in this way, we may also be able to reach those
who have "an honest and good heart" (Luke 8:15)
and help them to see what Scripture teaches about many
issues discussed in society.
For years now, we have sought
to reach out in this capacity. By means of pointed letters,
we have discussed a variety of sins and issues, usually
showing how the Word of God addresses them with clarity,
with truth, and with forcefulness. While it is true that
the editorial staff may edit the letter to make it shorter
(usually there is a limit, which may only occasionally
be exceeded), still an amount of truth does come across
in the letters printed. The local newspaper reaches hundreds
of thousands of readers, thus the potential for good is
great!
Weve included a variety
of letters sent (and generally printed) over the years
to local newspapers. Read some of them. We encourage you
to reach out in this free manner and represent the Lord
and His Word in this "perverse generation" (Acts
2:40). Be like a John who was willing to lift his voice
to even heads of government (cf. Mark 6:17-18; Luke 3:18-19).
Paul prayed that he might "speak boldly,
as [he] ought to speak" (Ephesiahs 6:20), and that
he might "make it clear in the way [he]
out to speak"(Colossians 4:4). Let this be our motivation!
