TALK IS NOT CHEAP

Not when you think of the price Heaven paid to send us “The Word.”

Not when you remember that by talking we can lead another to eternal life in Jesus.

Not when you think of all the martyrs whose only crime was talking about Jesus.

Not when you feel the struggle and risks that oppressed people will take just to hear the words of life.

Not when you measure the value of a loved one’s last words.

Not when you read again Jesus’ last words telling us to “Go everywhere, tell everybody.”

Not when you can wrap words in light and electricity and hurl them over walls and through iron and bamboo and muslin curtains into the waiting radios, televisions, and computers and change the world.

Indeed, talk is not cheap—or is it?

For all words are worth they cost so little to wrap up in electricity and flood the world with them.

Just a few cents lays this very blog out there where hundreds of millions of computers can see it if they wish
