roaring lambs

This blog is dedicated to all whom God has called to be roaring lambs. A roaring lamb is a believer who is not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and has the courage to make the Gospel a part of His daily life - by his life, looks and lips. We as believers are God's lambs but we can make a difference by roaring ie. not keeping quiet but spreading the good news of Jesus wherever we have influence. The term was coined by Bob Briner in his book by the same title Roaring Lambs. Bob was involved in sports broadcasting for many years in the US and has since been called home to glory. I read his book when I was in the media industry. This book and its sequel Lambs Among Wolves greatly influenced my perspective, thinking and focus whilst I was working in the media industry from 1992-2000. I recommend these two books to all who have been called by God to be part of "culture-shaping" industries such as theatre, journalism, radio, broadcasting, movies, sports. It is not by coincidence that we are given the privilege to be part of these industries. It is by God's design, plan and purpose. We can squander this opportunity or we can be salt and light where we are placed. We are called to be roaring lambs.
I am moved to start this blog 5 years after I have left the industry. I have always desired to share the experiences that God placed in my life to show His power and glory during those media years. With blogging technology, the time has come. May you by God's grace be drawn to worship and praise God for His mighty works. And more importantly recognise the need to use the opportunity you have been given to be a roaring lamb where God has placed you.

I feel that giving glory to God at an award ceremony podium always put real perspective into an event that seems to only extol human achievements. We tend to consciously and unconsciously leave God outside the door of the entertainment world. God is omnipresent, we have to show that loud and clear. What you did at the ATV Awards was very encouraging. We need God fearing people making the influence in a visible and impressionable way. Roar on sis!
