About Time!

Lent Day 15

Isn't it about time to stop settling? Aren't you sick of the mediocre christian life? When will you sell out to the cause of Christ?

It might be good if your freind asked you those questions straight faced and serious every morning. This generation is settling for the warmed over church experience of our parents! This generation is lifting selfishness and mediocrity to new levels of acceptance. This generation has sold out to Hollywierd, Microsoft, Ipods, and American Idol- but not to the cause of Christ.

WAKE UP! GET UP OFF THE COUCH! EMBRACE and OWN the real GOSPEL!

What is the christian life? It is a life that is about faith in God from beginning to the end. It is about serving your fellow men and women, brothers and sisters in Christ, consistantly. It is about living for the kingdom of God. It is being turned on by the invisible, and stimulated by the Spirit's work in men, women, boys and girls. It is about seeing the change happen in the lives of the new believers, and finding the joy of mentoring and ministry.

It's about time that we sell out to Christ. How can we meditate on Jesus' complete devotion the surrender of his life on the cross and total commitment and think that our mediocrity is okay?
