Obedience.
It seems like a word that we love to say, but hate to act out.
I mean, if we really were obedient to Christ, imagine what our community would look like?  I have been examining myself and am realizing that I have hindered the mission of God. He has called us to make disciples. But how many have I really made?
Examine yourself.
This is not a post to teach, but to just ask to examine yourself.
Are you a leader and living in sin? Do you find yourself amening passages in scripture and using them against people, but completely being disobedient to another passage?

I see christians tell people to show the love of Christ, but are unequally yoked.
I see christians stress the importance of worship, but find prayer a thing we are forced to do.
I see christians wanting blessings from Christ, but will not suffer for Him.
I see christians know just as much about the word as the day they were saved.

Why aren't we waking up! Obey the WHOLE WORD!
But I guess it's hard to obey the word, when you don't open it and read it yourself.


My heart is hurting. As I see Christians walking around living the life of chasing material goods, chasing physical needs, and never desiring to give Christ their all.
It honestly makes me sick when I hear of people who have not prayed to God regularly every hour. It makes me sick when I ask my peers if they are in the word, and their reply is simply "no". And it never changes.
What must we do to bring about this change?
What needs to happen to make people wake up and realize that Jesus is all they have!!

This post is not for unbelievers, but for believers... Have you made ministry your Jesus? Have you forgotten that its all about growing in Christ?
