The word of the Lord increases and prevails mightily
Praise God for the repentence of the students at Sutherland Shire Christian School in response to hearing God's word.
As the Sydney Morning Herald reports today and according to a press release from the school itself, students at the School have handed in thousands of pirated CDs to be destroyed, after being challenged about God's commandment not to steal.
It is estimated that the CDs were worth $50,000 retail.
It reminds me of Acts 19:18-20:
Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. And a number of those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.
May God use this costly, committed act of repentance by the students—a Christian act which not even the SMH could ridicule—to help make his Gospel known.
