When I was younger and naive (miss those days sometimes), I
would hear my Pape say someone was a Christian, Catholic or Jew and I would
instantly think, "Oh they are different. I can hang out with them! They
don't do bad things!" And that is how it would go throughout my younger
days up until I was in high school. Then I entered high school and saw these
"Christians" drinking, smoking, carrying a baby, getting an abortion,
being as bad as the "unsaved" people. To think I believed someone
being a Christian or Catholic made them a good person. THIS IS HOW IT IS! It
ISN'T to be this way! What happened to allowing the Spirit to move in us and to
convict us of living a righteous life, pleasing to the Lord?!? Church, wake up!
WE ARE THE BIBLE THE WORLD IS READING!!! If people are not going to read the
Bible, our job as Followers of Christ, is to reflect the Bible and the
wonderful life we have since we've accepted Christ. It bothers me to let people
know I am a Christian and their face reflects disdain, disgust, a look of
hatred or boredom. People should be joyful, asking us what to do to receive
Christ. Being a Christian is not a label we wear on Sundays as we go through
the motions and then we spend the rest of the week in our old (present) sins,
that is throwing manure into the face of the man who died FOR US! Christ ended
all of that when He died for us. We are to let the Spirit in us convict us and
help us turn away from our flesh and fix our eyes on Him! Do not shame Christ!
We are the Bible the world is reading... what is YOUR Bible saying?
