Jesus Freaks: 1 Corinthians 13

"The Jesus Freaks Minute" airs on Christian radio stations nationwide. Each month VOM creates and sends out 12 radio spots sharing the story of a persecuted Christian or another believer totally sold-out for God. Some stories come from recent VOM headlines; others come from the pages of Christian history. And some offer a challenge from the Scripture itself, like this one which will air this month:

[INTRO SONG LYRICS:]  What will people think when they hear that I’m a Jesus Freak? What will people do when they find that it’s true? 

[TOBYMAC:]  Hey, this is TobyMac with truth every Jesus Freak should hear from the Voice of the Martyrs:

[VOM:] You know First Corinthians 13.  The love chapter.  “Love is patient.  Love is kind.  Love does not envy -- does not boast. Love bears all things.  Hopes all things. Endures all things.” They read it at weddings. Print it on posters. Well here’s an idea. Put your name there. 

Donna. Sean. Tia.  Whoever you are.  Can you really say “Donna is patient.” “Sean is kind.”  “Tia does not envy.”  Insert your name in every verse of 1 Corinthians 13.  Ending with “Love never fails.”

Then go a step further.  Ask yourself, “Are you loving only people who are easy to love?” That’s no sacrifice.  A Jesus Freak loves the unloveable.  For more from The Voice of the Martyrs, go online to persecution.com.
