Then Sings My Soul Saturday: Cardboard Testimony

July 19, 2008 · 12 comments

I saw this clip over on Simply A Musing Blog, one of the ~~hundreds~~ many blogs I ~~stalk~~ read.

Karen says, “This was absolutely, positively one of the most powerful uses of a testimony I have ever seen.”

A few weeks ago, our church actually used this concept during a song as well. My husband and I had the honor of being card holders and participating on stage along with several others.

During all three services, people cheered and cried as each card was flipped. Each time, I was moved to tears by the overwhelming realization of God’s power.

What did our card say? On the first side:

“Not Honoring God Financially”

Flipped:

“Financially Honoring God”

Although our card could have stated a dozen other major events in our lives, becoming disciples who put the “Kingdom First” with our finances has truly changed our family, our marriage, and our children’s future.

It was a powerful statement, one that hopefully touched the hearts of others who may be struggling with their finances.

For more uplifting music, visit Amy’s place every Saturday.
