On Sunday I spoke about the lack of real Christianity that we see among people who go to church. I brought the message because I wanted to give a challenge to those who find their lives not being everything they want it to be. I see a lot of people struggling with their everyday life and mostly it is due to the fact that they aren’t living a life that is submitted to God.
I have said this before and I will keep saying it – Christianity faked will not work; in fact it is the most miserable circumstances to try to live through. If you are trying to fake Christianity then the world doesn’t like you because they will never understand why you believe the things you say you believe. And the church won’t accept you because you don’t live the things the church believes.
OK, so before I go any further with this I want to say that I am not being pessimistic, I am simply being honest about what I see happening with a lot, and I mean a lot, of Christians. By the way, when I look at these things I am in good company!
"…Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8 NKJV)
Jesus asks the same kind of question. As a Pastor I want everybody in my church to be ready for the return. And I also want them to live the best life they can have and that will only happen as they become intentional about living the Christian life. (I am not talking about trying to live a Christian life style; I am talking about living in real salvation.)
I hate seeing the people that I love living half hearted Christian lives, when God wants to do something really amazing with each and every one of them. And all it takes is setting your mind on doing the things God wants you to do.
In the next post I will show why it is possible to live a really genuine holy life!
