“Pray
for us; we are sure we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in
all things. I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored
to you very soon.” Hebrews 13:18-19
Do
you ever consider sometimes, given all the evangelicals and street preachers
out there, that life in Christ is about much more than just “hellfire and
judgment” later? That living in and for our Lord means much more than
whether or not we are spared the judgment in the Day of the Lord? I know
sometimes some “happy” preachers go a little overboard especially when they get
too involved in the so-called “prosperity gospel”, but surely our faith is
about much more than “or else”! Surely our Lord is about much more than
standing over us with a bolt of lightening just waiting for the time to
strike!!
Let
our lives be about the pursuit of those things that matter to everyone
regardless of faith: honor, dignity, divine wisdom, contentedness, and justice
(righteousness). Let us stop raising our fists at those who disagree, and
choose instead to raise our hands in praise and thanksgiving. Let us
truly seek to honor our Lord and make our Father proud to call us His own!
Grace
and peace,
Michael
