The One Who is Not Against Us is For Us.
On Wednesday we celebrated our independence. In 1776, the patriot who is credited with
influencing revolution most was not celebrating. John Dickinson was a founding father of
this nation and his writings galvanized the colonies into action, resulting in revolution. He
was given the title “The Penman of the Revolution,” but you will not find his John Hancock
on the Declaration of Independence. He refused to sign.
How could the Penman of the Revolution refuse to use his pen to sign the very document
producing it? The week after Independence, we all go back to our routines and put our old
glory shorts and t-shirts back in their drawer. For Dickinson, the week following that day
was not a cheerful one and his routine was far from what it once was. The fame and influ-
ence he once had was tarnished and is felt 242 years later. You may not have known who he
was until now. Dickinson would have been considered a Tory, supporter of the tyrannical
crown. One phrase sums up this change in status for Dickinson: “If you’re not with us,
you’re against us.”
Today, the same phrase is touted when a social media user disagrees openly with a popu-
lar belief. One may have the inclination to become a penman of a revolution to annihilate
the tyrant who disagrees. We see mini-revolutions every day on Facebook, Twitter, and
other social media outlets. These outlets have often become antisocial vents for rage and
negativity.
The apostle John came to Jesus with a similar concern about one man who seemed to be a
contradiction to their cause.
“John said to him, ‘Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we
tried to stop him, because he was not following us.’ But Jesus said, ‘Do not stop him, for no
one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of
me. For the one who is not against us is for us’” (Mark 9:38).
John Dickinson was not against the Founding Fathers – he was for them. A Patriot. In
1775, he wrote an Olive Branch Petition to the tyrant King George III. Dickinson wanted
peace, and he knew that to sign this declaration would mean war. He knew it could mean
war with the Spanish and French, and possibly cause a civil war between the divided colo-
nies (most of these came true). He was not willing to sign at that time. He did this because
of his religious convictions. He was a Quaker and espoused Peace at all costs.
When someone is not with you for whatever reason, stop and ask if they are truly against
you. Think before you click send. Perhaps that person has a background story you don’t un-
derstand. Make peace, because Peace will not just happen.
Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is the penman of our revolution against sin. Today, may we take
on His revolutionary idea when faced with someone who might not be with us.
The one who is not against us is for us.

Woodcutters through the Forrest – Part 2
How many more people were willing to tell the
story of Christ, because of what had happened to
Paul? True, Paul had been hindered to some extent.
He would be chained to one of these soldiers of the
Roman Praetorian Guard. The chain was short in
length. One end was around the wrist of the prisoner
(Paul) and the other end was around the wrist of the
soldier. But Paul also had new opportunities that he
would never have had otherwise. And because of his
limitations other were encouraged to preach.
Two new sources of people to spread the gospel
have become active in preaching the truth. Some of
the Christians, like Paul wanted to see the gospel car-
ried into all the world, but unlike Paul they lacked the
courage. They were timid about telling others about
Christ. But now seeing Paul in prison, are moved by
his example to get out of their comfort zone and have
become active in speaking the word of God without
fear.
Others were motivated by envy. With Paul in
prison they would see an opportunity to surpass
Paul’s work and perhaps gain a greater reputation for
themselves. Regardless of the motive for preaching,
Christ was being preached and people would be
saved as a result. For Paul that is reason for rejoicing,
because that is exactly what Paul desired to see.
Teachers can be woodcutter through the forest.
Teaching carries great responsibilities. James wrote of
this telling us, “My brethren, let not many of you
become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a
stricter judgment” (James 3:1). (NKJV) Literally: the
word means “stop becoming teachers.” All Christians,
as they are able, are to teach when and where they
can. Thus James is not trying to discourage them from
teaching. They are not to teach for notoriety. “Love the
work but strive not after the honor of a teacher.”
Teaching is basic to the continued existence of
Christianity. The early church depended upon the
teachers for edification. Paul told the young man
Timothy, “Till I come, give attention to reading, to
exhortation, to doctrine. 14 Do not neglect the gift
that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy
with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. 15
Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to
them, that your progress may be evident to all. 16
Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Con-
tinue in them, for in doing this you will save both
yourself and those who hear you” (II Timothy 4:13-
16). In his second letter to Timothy Paul reminded him
of this need when he wrote, “And the things that
you have heard from me among many witnesses,
commit these to faithful men who will be able to
teach others also” (II Tim. 2:2).
