Try to think of history without sound.
Try to imagine great battles surrounded by complete silence.
Try to imagine diplomats from two opposing countries debating in silence.
Suppose there had never been Roosevelt’s quiet fireside chats,
Try to imagine great battles surrounded by complete silence.
Try to imagine diplomats from two opposing countries debating in silence.
Suppose there had never been Roosevelt’s quiet fireside chats,
Hitler’s wild chattering,
Nero playing his fiddle,
Lincoln and his Gettysburg address,
The leadership voice of Washington at Valley Forge.
No shouts at Bunker Hill
Voices of hope echoing off the bow of the Mayflower.
Paul and his words on his missionary journeys,
The voice of the Son of God, his words recorded into the written word.
The voice of Peter saying, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
The voice of Peter saying, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.”
Christ saying of himself, “He that hath seen me hath seen the father.”
The voice of Stephen dying under a hail of stones, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.”
And the beginning of it all, the voices of angels to shepherds on the side of a hill, “Be not afraid; for behold I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all people; for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”
The voices of the prophets, Isaiah Jeremiah, Nehmiah and a host of others.

The voices of the prophets, Isaiah Jeremiah, Nehmiah and a host of others.
Moses and the Ten Commandments and the voice of God.
The voices of Abraham and Isaac and Noash and his ark.
The sound of rain that fell for forty days and forty nights.
Voices in the Garden of Eden.
The foolish voices of those who had nothing better to do than argue as to how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.
The sounds of great choirs dating back through the centuries.
History is recording sound at this very moment and slightly before and soon thereafter.
What you have been saying on this day and will be saying and your words traveling through timeless space never to be quieted.
In closing, can we play for a moment the WHAT IF game?
What if someone had looked at the art of Adolph Hiller and praised him for having great talent and he had become a great artist instead of…(and think of who you would add to this WHAT IF game,)
What if someone had looked at you and said “…….” Instead of “………”
What if you had looked at all those you have spoken to, in the making of your history and there’s and had said “…………” or “…………..”
What will you say in the future and to who and why?
And how soon after you have spoken it will become the past…and what you said will have been a blessing or it will have been a ………….
“But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak.” Matthew 12: 36
