The man said he believes in the Bible as the Word of God – but he never reads it.
He said he believes that God hears and answers prayers – but he seldom prays.
He said the church would be more effective in its work if more of its members were really dedicated – but he never engages in any of the church’s work.
He said he believes that the church assemblies are times for edification and praise to God – but he seldom gathers with the other Christians.
He said he believes the younger generation needs stronger spiritual values – but he doesn’t demonstrate spirituality in his own life in the presence of his kids.
He said the church members are not doing the work the Lord intends – but he, like others, is not doing any work.
He said he knows the Lord is coming again – but he lives as though the Lord will never come.
Beloved brethren, there are some Christians who think, talk and act like the man mentioned here. I think better of you. The very fact that you are reading this short note today may indicate that you have more spirituality than this man.
But, on the other hand, if you are like this man, why not do something about it today? Anyone can talk about being spiritual. God is pleased only when talk turns to action (; ).
(You may already know what the two verses above say. But just for fun, why not look them up anyway? Just to be sure.)
THE FINAL WORD
The first two things in the piece above are reading the word of God and praying to the Father in heaven. Do you know of anything that can take the place of these two things?
If you do know of anything, please send me an email so I can know. I will share it with readers next week.
Until then…
May God’s blessings be upon you my dear friends.
