There is a demand placed on our lives as Christians to walk righteous with our Heavenly Father, and share with others what we know so they too can be saved. We are to study the Bible to find out who God is to us, who He was created to be, and who He will remain. We are to seek wisdom/understanding, grow in trials, and live as examples; dead to ourselves... alive in Christ.
How can we call ourselves Christians and stay quiet?
How can we call ourselves Christians and live lukewarm in our relationship with God; blind to the truth? How can we call ourselves Christians and curse the unlovely, ignore the broken/abused, walk around "holier than thou," and refuse to associate with others outside this "perfect" bubble we created?
How dare us, as Christians, be selfish with our God!
We need to shout from the roof tops all God has done for us!
We need to refuse to be ashamed of the freedom God has given to us!
We need not be shut up OR shut down because the world believe's differently than us!
What will it take for Christians to actually walk the walk and talk the talk?
Heaven IS real.
Hell IS real.
What is the point calling ourselves Christians if we're no different than the world we live in?
Philippians 2:1-4 [The Message]
1-4 If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
