What This World Needs!

If you are a Christian – then do me, yourself and others a favor – start acting like it!  According to Romans 6:1-23, you can’t live any ole way that you want to!  You can’t be a Believer and continue to live in sin!  When you accept Christ, the Bible teaches, that you die to sin.  If you died to sin, then you can’t continue to live in sin!  We like to place the blame on others for the problems in this world, but we need to take a good, long, hard and honest look in the mirror.  What many of us would see in that mirror is a pretender or poser – someone who is just going through the motions without any real commitment!  (I know you think you are committed and that you have convinced yourself that you are and that everything is okay!  It’s not your opinion that matters – what does Jesus say about your commitment?  BE HONEST!)

Jesus Christ came and died for our SALVATION!  Salvation is so much more than just getting out of hell and into Heaven. Salvation is about a relationship that last for eternity.  Salvation is about living a new and better life.  Salvation is about living daily in the forgiveness and power of a relationship that can change your life by allowing your life to matter and make a difference to others!

What this world needs is for people that say they are Christians, to really be Christians by living the life that Jesus has made possible through His death and resurrection!  Stop wasting God’s grace!  Live the life that you were created to live!  Get your eyes off of yourself and others and focus on Jesus!

The Door!

Everyday we are tempted and temptation is not optional.  Think about it:  everyday, multiple times throughout the day, you are tempted.  You are tempted to do something or you are tempted to not do something.  There are some things that we should not do, but we do them anyway.  There are some things that we know that we should do, but we fail to ever get around to doing them.

Temptation is a door to victory or defeat – you get to make the choice!

 

The things that we should not do, that we end up doing anyway – almost always cost us more than they are worth.  And the things that we should do, that we never get around to – almost always keep us from experiencing some amazing blessing that God has in store for us!

As you are tempted today – remember that the temptation is a door and you get to decide where it is going to take you – to victory or defeat!
