For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 ESV)
When I read this verse the other day I wrote a whole blog post on it... Then i lost the whole post and was really upset :)
So here we go again!
The thing that really gets me about this is the fact that, if I am in Christ, or atleast proclaim to be i. him. Should I not be free, and longing to do the things of Him eho made me? Should we not all long to share Christ with whoever we come in contact with? And if so why are we not doing the thing we were called to do? In Joshua the Lord to Joshua to be of good courage! To have the strength to do what God has called of Him to do, and he did it. He did more than just the one task of Jericho, but he led the nation of Israel onto victory many times. When he died he said "as for me and my house we will serve the Lord." wow! That is what I want whether i am single my whole life, or ai have a family, I want to say that i followed to the to the end of my days. That even through the hard times, i gave it my all!
May I have the boldness to stand for what I profess to believe, and give God the time and the glory He so honestly deserves in my life, may we all do so!
The empathy and stagnant, unforgiving, unwholesome, deceptive, distracted, unappealing church needs to end. We need to wake up!! Wake up and see that there is more than music to fight over! There are eternal souls at stake here, lives that are daily being lost to the depths of hell...
What are we as truth givers going to do about it? Sit on the side and allow people to go about their lives, knowing that they are going to live in eternal torment!? Are we going to disregard Christs last commandment!? Justify it by saying someone else will? NO. By saying we believe in Him, then we are to do His commandments. No ifs ands or buts.
Just a thought...
