WHOAMI
(1 am a Christian?)
When we take the time to evaluate
ourselves we can very easily see that we
have come short. So very short, that most
of us are ashamed of our meager efforts.
In this society the very devil has been
loosed and he’s not ashamed of his
efforts. In this society, boldness seems to
be prevelent. Therefore, if opposition to a
Christian life is bold, we must be bold for
the Lord! We should be willing to
embrace our fellowman regardless of‘
race, creed, color or national origiri. The
role of a Christian is active not passive.
Christians must be people of action!
When our fellowmen are wronged, we
should try and set it right. When there is
hunger, we should be willing to share.
Where there are old and sick, we should
try and comfort. We should be busy and
bold for His service, searching the vast
horizon for another opportunity to serve.
The late Rev. D.W. Browning posed a
question to me some years back and the
question keeps me thinking about the
Church and its whole concept within a
pagan society. The question was “What
should be the attitude of a Christian in a
society where wrong seems to hold
sway?” In order to answer this question
we must ask ourselves some questions; in
other words, take a self-evaluation. ,
Did 1 make a serious commitment to
God when I became a member of His
Church? Yes, I did make a very serious
commitment when I stood before God’s
people and said “i do receive and confess
Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and
Lord” and pledged my allegiance to His
Kingdom. I also said I would be loyal to
His Church and uphold it by my prayers,
my presence, my gifts and my service.
Have 1 been loyal to the church? I
wonder if I have prayed as often as I
should have prayed for the church? Did I
cheerfully accept the responsibilities that
1 was asked to accept? Let me see now,
have I been present whenever I could?
Have I attended my meetings as I could
have attended them or did 1 find an
eiicutft'?'"'Whaf’ abovit the' mid-week
meeting prayer service?
I believe that I’m giving as much as I
can because last week we bought a new
car and 1 just can’t give anymore. Surely,
God must realize that I’m having it pretty
tough. 1 have to work every day and when
Sunday comes, I’m pretty tired and
besides no one will be at the meeting but
the same old folk! He must know that!
What is He expecting me to do anyway?
No one else is doing anything! Why
should I be breaking my back?
What in the world am I doing! Arguing
with myself? Maybe I’m not arguing with
myself--perhaps I’m trying to convince
God!
