The
sad thing today is that many Christians live their lives based on their
status and well being in this world. Don't get me wrong, God has
blessed us to live in this nation and we are a blessed people for it.
But, when we see this world as the most important part of our existence,
we are not walking in the Light. Sure, less taxes and better living
conditions, the less threat of gun violence (or any violence at all)
would be nice. But, isn't that the heaven we are looking forward to? I
believe it is the next world we are promised the beauty we are
seemingly seeking here on this earth.
I am really concerned about the lack of knowledge and the lack of desire for the word of God. We have to become more studious in our lives and in our desire to walk the paths of God. We need to be concerned about our nation, our freedoms, but truthfully in the end, our spiritual lives are so much more important.
We as a nation are sacrificing our children, not just through abortion, drug abuse, free and open sexual disobedience, but through negligence in our sharing the spiritual nature of life.
It is time we stand together and truly share what we believe about God. Or maybe, we already are!
Sad to think and even sadder to say it. But, I believe that statement may be truer than any other. We are showing the world what we believe about God by our concern more about what is wrong with our economy than what is wrong with our society and it's lifestyle.
My prayer is that God will take away from us whatever is keeping us from being His children in the way we need to be in this world.
Then, my favorite verse 1 John 5:17 will be true for not only the few but the many. "...in this world we are like Him."
How are you doing?
I'll see you later!
