GOD'S GRAND KIDS

First of all, I'd like to say that I'm not posting this to curse the darkness, I'm trying to turn on the Light.

I am by no means more righteous than others, i just want to provoke introspection amongst all of us.

No matter at what level we are in in our relationship with God. We can never be too AWAKE.


Many people , in their social network profiles under the religion question sate CHRISTIAN. Others do the same when asked in a conversation. However if you take a look at the lifestyles and beliefs of some of these individuals , it is far from anything associated with Christ.

So what is the true meaning of Christian? ,What does it mean to be a Christian?
Does going to church make you a Christian?
Does the fact that you were born into a Christian home by Christian parents make you a Christian?.

To these i say NO.If it works that way, That means i automatically become a double masters graduate without the effort based on the choices and actions of my parents.

Being born and raised on the campus of Harvard , does not automatically make one a student of Harvard.Neither does being born into a Christian home make one a Christian. If i wanted to enter Harvard i would have to make the conscious effort to commit myself into getting into Harvard by filing out an application form and taking required steps.
A man of God once put it this way "God has no grandchildren".

"The greatest cause of atheism in the world today , is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus ,with their lips,and walk out the door,but not with their lifestyle, THAT ,is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable."

Are we more concerned with getting high than the most high?

Are we more concerned with being politically correct than standing for
what we believe in ?

Are we more comfortable with what is socially acceptable, than what is God acceptable?

Do you justify your actions, turning everything to Grey, when you know you are blatantly out of line.

If Jesus went through your Google search , What would he find?

If he walked into your room when you were with that special someone, would you be embarrassed?

Do you squirm when you see a cute puppy being hurt, but shrug your shoulders at abortion, like it's just one of those things and doesn't concern you?

Guys, do you say or make inappropriate gestures towards ladies, are your thoughts pure and different from the average guy on the street, who knows nothing about God? Do you say things to girls just so that you can set the ball rolling to get them into bed. Do you take a girl out on an expensive date with the intention of getting sex as a payback?

Ladies, do you dress appropriately? When you dress up do you wear clothes to make people notice your body. There is a difference between being sexy and being sensual. Does your dressing stimulate sexual thoughts in men. Do you wear blouses or tops that allow guys to see your cleavage?

Can you scripturally back up the actions that you take , or do they contradict the word of God.

How is your life any different from those who have never stepped into a church. Can anyone tell the difference?

Becoming a Christian is like joining the army.When you join the army, there are things in your life you can no longer do, if you want to be a successful soldier.

Discipline has to become part of your DNA. You can no longer eat deep fried chicken and ice cream every night.

You can't wake up at 11 pm or sleep in as much as you want .

You can't go out binging all night.You have to conform to an exercise regiment if you are going to survive the life of a soldier.

If you claim Christ, you You cannot go to bed with a person you are not married to, claiming "we are in love and we aren't hurting anybody".

Once you tell people that you are Christian, they are instantly watching your life to see how you conduct it. They are watching for you to make that mistake, so they can point fingers and say that you are no different from anyone else.

You cannot live a life contrary to the bible and expect everything to be in the sweet by and by. "A fountain can not produce both sweet and bitter water".You can't get stupid drunk every weekend and waltz around professing Christ . Ladies,you can't let some man touch and handle you wrong, and claim "we were just dancing", there are eyes watching and taking note of your actions.

The truth is , we all know these things. Life is all about choices,and deep down we know when we are going the wrong way through our inner compass. The difference is, what are we going to do about it now?

Now don't get it twisted. Christians are not perfect.We struggle with the same things that every body else does. We have the same desires in life and the same trials, we are not isolated from temptations, and it is not by our own strength we sometimes overcome them.

THE DIFFERENCE HOWEVER, is about the commitment to change your life and strive for perfection.The determination that says "I'm not going to let my cravings rule my life" is what is important
Creating boundaries of what you can and cannot do,where you can and can not go, no matter how much fun it is.
If all of the above doesn't suit your idea of living life.

By all means,enjoy your "Not Religious" status, and do continue to do those things, that you love to do,but don't claim Christianity while doing everything that contradicts the bible.

The choices you make today affect your tomorrow.

The question we all should ask ourselves is when each one of us stands before the judgment seat of Christ, and he asks you WHY SHOULD I LET YOU INTO MY KINGDOM? What will be your answer?
