Several teenagers at our church completed their high school education this last week. Warsaw's Baccalaureate was held at our church and our youth pastor gave the message. Several area pastors read scripture and spoke a few words, some were right on and some were wishy washy, not wanting to offend but to keep everybody happy. This makes me sad, how are people going to know how to be forgiven and redeemed if we skirt around salvation. The cross is offensive but some Christians are so worried about what people think or stepping on toes that they avoid it all together. They are forgetting what we are called to do, to tell this lost and dying world about the Son of God coming to die on a cross so we could be saved, that he would rather die than to live without us.
Mrs. McCubbin, a teacher selected by the senior class, spoke...she told them about Jesus! She spoke the truth, how refreshing it is that school teachers will still stand up for the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our Youth Pastor's message was awesome, the invitation was given, and the free gift of salvation was accepted! What a night!
Friday evening was Warsaw's graduation ceremony, a young lady from our church, Stevie, was the Salutatorian. Her speech was incredible, she quoted scripture and presented the gospel. What an ambassador for Christ, I am so proud of her. I told her so afterward and she said "that's the most important thing I could tell them". She demonstrated how we should seize every opportunity to tell others the good news of Jesus Christ.
