—Acts 14:1-7
by: Jerry Johnson.
As an Army Chaplain, it would be easy for me to lose my “missionary” status and become just another staff officer who does his job and refuses to be a prophetic voice for truth because of the fear that I could hurt my career if I make someone mad. It is tempting to fall in love with the paycheck and benefits without making a difference in our careers. Here in Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas had the boldness to enter into “enemy territory” and boldly share, all the while knowing that trouble could follow. Are we confident in our calling, whatever the setting, to tactfully share despite the consequences?
