    Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 15, 2001
    based on 171 ratings
     | 22,923 views

    I’m convinced that one of the most difficult things that the Scripture asks us to do is found in Romans 12:15. That verse says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.”

    The Bible consistently teaches that Christians are not only to be seen, but also to be heard. If we have the only message that shows how to get back to God, then God forbid we keep that message to ourselves!

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX ILL. I don’t know if you saw it or not, but last year there was a talk show in which the guest was contrasting the deaths of Princess Diana & Mother Theresa. One of her comments was, “I believe ...read more
