Today on a long drive I worked through a four-part series on the life and martyrdom of William Tyndale. The more I listened, the heavier it got.
Tyndale was hunted, exiled, and betrayed for the “crime” of translating the Bible into English so ordinary people could read it. He was eventually strangled and burned at the stake in 1536. His dying prayer was, “Lord, open the King of England’s eyes.” He never lived to see the English Bible widely available. Yet his work shaped the language of the King James Bible and countless translations that followed.
A few hours later we pulled into a Pilot station. I’ve seen the Bible racks in those stores a hundred times, but after hearing what Tyndale endured, it stopped me cold. There, in a truck stop in America, sat copies of the Word of God that anyone could buy for a few dollars. No stake. No exile. No threat of death. Just a shelf by the coffee and the donuts.
We are still living off the blood and courage of that man. The same Book he died to give us is so common in our culture that it can sit unnoticed next to the jerky and the sunglasses. That should not go unnoticed.
Do not treat lightly what others paid for with their lives. Open it. Read it. Obey it. And do not let the ease of access breed indifference. The English Bible is not an accident of history. It is the fruit of a martyr’s obedience. Honor it.
The solution to ending human trafficking isn’t as distant as the problem feels.
In fact, the solution is already woven into the lives we’re living, into the roles we hold, the places we go, the people we interact with every day.
It’s awareness. Because without it, victims go unnoticed and traffickers move freely. But when awareness is paired with the right tools, something shifts, everyday spaces start to change becoming places where exploitation is recognized and interrupted.
Here at A21, we prioritize the creation of free resources because what is learned today could bring freedom to someone you encounter tomorrow.
We want to encourage you to Visit a21.org/resources to download and share our Community Toolkit to equip you and the people you love today.
Ending human trafficking is not always about doing more, but making a difference right where you are. Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
Christian singer Matthew West shared a powerful story about taking his daughter to camp. During an exercise, the daughters were blindfolded and the dads were told to guide them through the woods after repeating three instructions: I will never leave you. You can ask me anything. And only listen for my voice.
At first, he could guide her easily. Then the counselors signaled for him to remove his hand. He was no longer allowed to speak unless his daughter remembered she could ask him anything. Eventually, they got off track on their hike and a counselor quietly led her into a ditch without her realizing it.
After standing there blindfolded and confused, she finally asked, “Dad, are you there?”
Matthew said he teared up as he answered, “Yeah. I’m here.”
This moment reminded him how often we forget the same truths about God: that He never leaves us, we can ask Him anything, and we need to listen for His voice.
I showed this powerful imagery from @ChildlikeMedia before my message today—because to understand Christmas, you have to see the story behind the Christmas story.
"Instead of organic carrots having to be called organic carrots, maybe they could just be called carrots, and carrots grown with chemicals could be called chemical carrots?"
"And maybe those that grow with chemicals have to demonstrate and show the chemicals that were used in the production?"
"If that was on the supermarket packs, I wonder how our behaviour would change."
@WallStreetApes Just awful! So much awful! Not even a great location for the project they are thinking of! Smh at the pure nastiness of people who try to make decisions bully others out of their way of life! Especially at a time where we NEED our small farmers!
@Sargon_of_Akkad Math teacher with 108 students. I grade, appr. 5,000 Math questions per week; if I only grade three assignments per class. Is there a chance that I miss a problem or grade a problem wrong? Yes. The fact that you judge all teachers based on this one incorrect problem is awful!SMH
