A reason to be in the Church
| Who gets our attention today? Today we see much that sadden and discourage us. We see the forces of evil often seem to be in control. Is it the TV and the movies? How many hours do we spend each day sitting around watching programs and listing to news. How many hours we allow electronic media to control our thoughts and compromise our Christian faith? Is it the Internet? Consider the time and efforts we put everyday to browse around searching for news and views, worldly materialistic philosophies. Web sites designed to spread immoralities, corrupted minds and souls set themselves up to spread anti-Christian theories and arguments. False ideological interpretations. All kind of unorthodox man made religion, free for all. In the net and through the net. Is it the environment and the official culture of todays Governments? Whether we aware of it or not we are in fact subjected to enormous amount of media advertisings led to control our sense of direction in so many vital issues concerning our social aspects such as education, entertainment, commercial, families welfare and so on parades in front of our own eyes to read and look everyday wherever we go. Some of it is freely made available! Radical thoughts and ideas, new moralities and beliefs to replace traditional Christian faith, free for all morals and disciplines to match the new age we live in They call it modern thinking! What we do with all this input is vitally important it is becoming very clear to everyone that these negative activities are continuing to devour on a large scale more people through human frailties. By simply choosing to open the flood gate and invite these forces of unchristian habits, thoughts, slogans, and cultures into their social and domestic fabrics, their corrupted qualities will be reflected in what they say and do Listen to what the prophet Haggai had to say to these kind of people, "You have sown much, and harvested little, you eat, but you never have your fill, you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes" (Haggai 1:6). We are inclined to assume that what we see in the mirror is what counts! But we have to understand the real depth of this challenge, for a positive start how much are we prepared to alter this distorted image? To improve the situation before it is too late, as children of God. Our mirror should reflect an entirely different image. We have to put in an effort to promote a significant change in our lives.. again to see a true Christian image by :
The fact of the matter is in everything we do we should behold the rule of rules to follow and Trust in God our Lord Jesus Christ. Depend on him Count on him Call on the one who is the truth, he will help us conquer lies and enable us to proceed in our lives as everything would be done by the grace of our Lord alone and nothing by us |
