God's Lesson (2)

Just last week in camp, i was having a mini apologetics discussion with my friends in my bunk. We talk about many things, certain practices like slaying of the soul that is practised by city harvest. Also he questioned about many moral issues concerning christ like is it justifiable that an evil man that do bad things thru out his life came to know christ in his last breath would be forgiven of his sin n would be able to go to heaven? Does it mean to say that we can juz do as much as we want then come back once in a while to i repent to be saved?

I explained as best as i could n i hope he catch my answer but there was one thing that they said impacted me alot. They did not like christianity because they met many christians who are not acting lk one, forces ppl to go church n making arrogant comments that are hurtful n sensitive to others as well as their religion. Hearing this, i really felt a sense of pity for them. If only they knew how much God loves them. But i guess our actions has hindered them from establishing a relationship with God and we should be grieving n ashamed for this.

Gandhi once said, "I love the Jesus that the christians preach but i hate the christians."

Even though on our lips we have been proclaiming to be the children of God, but are we really living a life that is worthy to be called that?

Brothers and Sister, its really time to wake up. In the acts church, the testimony of the living God could be seen in the followers life but now when ppl ask for testimony
, all we can say is look at the life of jesus as we know that our lives can will not be a testimony. I really wanna encourage all of us here today to start evaluating our lives n c what areas we can improve in so that in due time our lives will be a living testimony of our heavenly father.

"not what we preach but what we practice that make us Christians"

Therefore, lets not stop at juz being a preacher of God's word but a doer of His word as well! Amen?
