1 Thess 5:25 – “Brothers, pray for us”
If you could change the world, or at least significantly change your church, how much would that be worth to you? How much effort would you put into that?
I’ve been giving this quite a bit of thought lately – how do you define a Christian country? Is it one that contains more than 50% of it’s population as Christians? That’s something that America has seen change recently, with their percentages dropping below 50% for the first time.
Politics is not government, although without one you might not have the other! We often get our backs up when ‘politics’ enter the church, but we’re open to a governing structure, sometimes ones that are man made.
We do not grow into a spiritual relationship step by step— we either have a relationship or we do not. God does not continue to cleanse us more and more from sin— “But if we walk in the light,” we are cleansed “from all sin” 1 John 1:7 says “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” It is a matter of obedience, and once we obey, the relationship is instantly perfected. But if we turn away from obedience for even one second, darkness and death are immediately at work again.
Every Christian at some point in their lives will have sung words and probably skimmed over the weight of them. They’ve probably forgotten that sometimes the words encourage and challenge us to live as per a disciple of Jesus and not pewfodder.
Jesus doesn’t want followers. He wants disciples. I think I may have said that in a previous post. It’s a strong challenge to me to not be a passive luke-warm out spitted individual, but to strive in the private times, the secret times, to honour God.
Here are a few snippets from worship songs that you may have sung at some point during your life. There’s truth, promise, grace, freedom, blessing, release, and it’s so easy to skim over them without seeing the depth of his love and the call to action.
