what if we were as militant about our own sin as we were about other people's?
sin is all the same in the eyes of God. all of it, no matter what it is, separates us from Him. liars, cheaters, sex offenders, murderers, thieves: all of us do not deserve God.
really, this is what it breaks down to. Jesus = LOVE.
what if we acted on what we said we believed in?
what if we really believed in what we say we believe in?
faith without works is dead.
we do not get to hoard Jesus anymore.
act like Jesus. read about Him. find out what got Him excited. study His life; His perfect, glorious life. learn what He has told you to do - it is in the Bible. share His passion. BE Jesus to this broken, hurting, longing world.
i think that if Christians were more PROactive about our faith, we would get much less flack from the world about how we REact. if people knew what Christianity was really about ((NOT religion and condemnation and rules and being exclusive)), they would see more of God and less of us.
this is it - WE are getting in the way. we are getting in God's way.
we need to repent of our self-righteousness and fear and start doing good.
i need to repent of my own self-righteousness and fear and start seeing people how my gracious and loving God sees them. i have got to get the heck out of God's way.
