Do we really know Him? June 1, 2011

Been thinking lately about whether or not the supposed Body of Christ actually is…
You see, just because people claim to be Christian, wear that name proudly, go to a Christian church, hang with Christian people, talk Christian talk, listen to Christian music, model a Christian life…doesn’t mean a hill of beans. All of that can be done by people who don’t have a personal relationship with God, kind of mechanically living as programmed.
In this technological world we live, faith has become just another thing we ‘do’. If we do all things right, according to the program, please everyone involved, check off the ‘faith to do list’ and mark them complete, then we must be Christian. If we go to church, participate in extra faith activities, involve ourselves missionally, even live a decent ethical/moral life, then we must be Christian and everything is OK with God.
Sadly, many in the faith community actually believe that heresy. Another alarming thought is that ministers actually teach that wayward thinking as truth – sinking sand – so that when, and they will, when the winds of adversity blow, howl, rise to a level of danger, those professing Christians run for cover – rather than dance in the rain, storm, tornado, hurricanes, tsunami, earthquake, flood… Yet, God has promised to genuine believers that He will supply every need, give angelic protection against life’s storms, revive a dead heart, broken spirit, breath fresh wind into empty lungs and cover a multitude of sins with His blood. We are designed, destined, delivered unto a Holy God for His work in/through us, no matter the circumstances.
Will you be that one who, against all odds, lifts holy hands to Him in praise and says, THANK YOU JESUS!
