Remember….Education without action is entertainment! Are you just being entertained in Church? Do you just entertain yourself by picking and choosing what you believe in the Bible? We are to put our Christian education to action, not to rest!
When I saw this message in Churchleaders I had to share it with you! I adore what Robin Rigg says about carrying your Cross, “It means braving the dangers of an evil world for the sake of an unbendable love for God and for people.” Are you???????
What does it mean to carry your cross? As a teenager, I once heard my pastor say that Jesus has many admirers, but not enough followers. That statement stuck in my mind. There are many who attend church weekly, but their professions of Christianity may be lived out superficially, or at any rate at their convenience. Following Jesus is not merely acknowledging His existence, or “agreeing” with His teachings. Following Jesus means to walk in His footsteps. It means to take upon yourself His purpose and mission in the world. It means braving the dangers of an evil world for the sake of an unbendable love for God and for people.
George Barna: “If Jesus Christ came to this planet as a model of how we ought to live, then our goal should be to act like Jesus. Sadly, few people consistently demonstrate the love, obedience and priorities of Jesus.” AMEN! Wake Up Christians! Share JESUS with all!
