I have known many kinds of Christians in my time. (I dont state this as a label or to label anyone. I am posting this as a representation to help you catch a visual of those I am referring to.) Some were and are as True of a Christian you will ever find. Some are what I will call a " Know it all Christian- (you would recognize them as, Overly Religious, Think they are perfect, Think they have all the answers & know what your purpose in life is). Then theres what I will call the Phony Christian (I am a Christian one minute, A sinner the next - these are the type to jump over the line back and forth, the bible calls this Luke Warm.)
Please keep in mind, we all fail at something each day, for the most part we do not fall deliberately. No Christian walking, living or breathing on this earth now is Perfect. (Christ is Perect he is the author of perfection). We should strive to be perfect but we are not perfect and it is ok that we make mistakes or fail as long as we acknowledge we have done so and with repentance. With that being said, there are some who do deliberately fall for the most part because of fear from others, What they will say or do? Then there are some who fall not so much deliberately more because they are weak when temptation comes around and it may be a test of growing to help them become stronger. What ever the reason no one is perfect.
When it comes to Christianity, When you have given your life over.... You are acknowledging the Law of God. If you are jumping back in forth over the line because you are afraid of what others may think or say this can be an extremely dangerous walk you are leading. In other words you are walking a Luke Warm walk ~ one jumping over the line allowing others to intimidate you or your walk, pleasing to others or self rather then to Christ.
(Scriptures of Reference Noted below :
Revelation 3:14-22, 1 John 2:15-16, 2 Corinthians 6:14, Matthew 5:13)
Unfortunately, that is one of the reasons we face such a mess today. Political and not political. When we allow others to tread upon us and over Gods will for our and their lives rather then speak up and speak the truths and shine Gods love in their lives; We are not only allowing the enemy to defeat our purpose God has given us, we are also allowing fear to step in our way for Gods will. Thus seeming a sense of ashamed to stand up for Truth.
In our society today, we face many pressures in the Political field especially right now. There is much intimidation out there keeping many silenced to speak Gods Truth. This silence of Truth has silenced many from speaking up and standing up about anything wrong or right merely because the FEAR OF MAN! I ask you, What man are we to be afraid of? I see no man on this earth to make any FEAR. I fear the mighty father above me, I dont care about what man wants to try, and I say "TRY" loud and clear, because I will not all their attempts to intimidate.
Again I speak from any stand point, Political and Non~Political. Homosexuality is not right, Do you think any man will stop me from professing the truths in that. Do you still want to be my friend because I spoke the truth? I love each person but I DO NOT & WILL NOT LOVE THEIR SIN or SUPPORT IT! Do you still want to be my friend for standing up and speaking the truth? Will I go to another room and cry about you not wanting to be my friend? I am sorry, NO, I will not! It is not my job to say or do pleasing things to satisfy you or anyone else.
Having a child out of wedlock, living with a man un-married, Doing and Dealing Drugs, Drinking Alcohol, Using Slandered Foul mouth or Vulgar Language, Prostitution, Lusting after an other, Murder or any other form of Hatred, Physical & Verbal Abuse, etc., etc., etc. These are all Wrongs, I will note it again, "These are all WRONGS!" This is not of God, God will judge us on all of these things. Do you still want to be my friend? If I dont do these things or things that others think I should do, Am I going to worry about losing another friend. NOPE, I will simply tell you, I love you and turn and walk the other way. I have done my part, I was obedient, I planted the seed and someone else will come along and water that seed for more growth later on. I will guarantee my best to not Judge you or any other. That is the fathers job to do later on.
*****************************************************************
(John 15: 18-24) - 18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
***************************************************************************
This is my thought to this: When I go home to be with my heavenly father there will be a judgement day for all I have done in this life time. I proclaim Christ as my Lord and Savior and Jesus will represent me before the father. Here on earth in this lifetime we ARE Christs Representatives. Our sole purpose is to spread the word of God and shine the love he has for his children. In other words our life should reflect the image of Christ in EVERYTHING WE DO & SAY.
This means whether we have to speak up and correct all of the Wrongs and praise all the Rights, Show Discipline in our life and around us as well as teach it to others. Just as a parent raising their children, God is raising us. We have the right to answer his call or ignore it. On this note, If I am not a good representative for Christ or if I do NO representing for Christ, I am out a good laywer or a lawyer period come Judgement day. Do you think ol' Lucifer will defend you that day when it comes? NOPE! He will just open the door and boot em all in to his firey pit.
So as I close on this subject, I want to encourage everyone that has a voice to stand up and use your voice. Non christians are out there voicing theirs and they are the ones being heard over the rest of us Christians who are speaking as loud as we can for our self and those who are not speaking. WE are not being heard clearly because we are over voiced by the louder ones doing all the wrongs or allowing all of the wrongs to take place. Political and Non~Political. It is time that we all take our stand. WE are soldiers in an army, sadly some have fallen asleep on the front line as we are in battle. That is a pretty disasterous picture if you imagine what the war looks like. :(. Come on saints it is time to arise and take the stand, Get lined up and in our proper positions and ready for battle always on guard. Lift your voices to the heavens and let it be heard. We are representing the KING OF KINGS, The Great and Mighty Abba Father.
Stand together, Together not alone, WE WILL WIN THIS BATTLE Already Won!
God Bless each one!
