They say the first step in recovery or in this
case redemption is to first admit you have a problem, well here’s mine. I call
myself a Christian and have been one for many years, but I do not always live
like one. I believe in God, Jesus, the
Holy Spirit, and the Bible, but believing it in my heart and living it in my
life are two very different things. The Bible says that a Christians “should
be in this world but not of this world,” yet when I look in the mirror,
I sometimes see more of the world in me than Christ, my Lord and Savior.
The word Part-time means: A period of
time that is less than full-time. The word Christian means: a follower of
Christ. Based on these two definitions, I am following Christ less than
full-time. That means my heart, my head, and my life, are not always reflecting
of a Christian in my every day existence. So, given this recent discovery, I
have decided to go on a journey from being a Part-time Christian to become a Full-time
Believer.
I asked a few friends to come along with
me to help me understand, gain knowledge, and grow in the wisdom of becoming a Full-time
Christian, some of them you might know. I asked Evil and his sister Wicked. Envy
and her best friend’s Deceit and Conniving want to come. Liar said no, because
he knows Truth would be leading the way. Trials and tribulations said they want
to come, oh and I can’t forget Trouble he’s coming along too, so is Issues,
Circumstances, and Situations they said yes at the last minute. I asked Church,
but she said she was busy every Sunday, but I think we will stop by to see her from
time to time. Hate and Racism are supposed to come, but they keep fighting over
who’s going to sit in the front and back seats. Adultery, Fornication, and Sexual
Immorality, well, they say they are coming, but they all have a mind of their
own, so I won’t hold my breath. Depression hasn’t answered yet, she said she
may be out of place with Love, Joy, Peace, and Kindness going along. Hell doesn’t
want to come, because he knows Heaven is coming, but I’m going to force him if
I have too. Well these are just a few that I know of and we were wondering if
maybe, you would like to come too. The tickets are free and I know Jesus would
love to see you, so leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Oh and
before I forget, you have to stop by here every Monday for updates and news
about our travels, see you next week if you’re coming.
this is a very poetic and inspirational blog....truly talented is disclosed in this blog. It is effective because it make me think about my Christian journey. Surely I look forward to reading future blogs. Keep it up, impressive and effective writing indeed.
