Scientology entering churches, Harry Potter being an entry point of witchcraft or whatever...
While these are very worthy issues, I believe we should be more focused on:
Glorifying God by serving the purpose He cut out for us, in our generation.
Whatever you were called to do, be it a teacher, a politician, an entertainment industry bullwark, or even a ministry leader, you are, at the core, called to:
- Worship God.
- Cooperate with Jesus in being more motivated by Love with every day that passes.
- Make disciples or ensuring that your next generation would love God passionately, recklessly, unequivocally..
But back to my rhetorical question. Since when did we Christians get so focused and distracted on the un-essential?!
Since...
Forever.
(Even with Jesus walking with them daily, the Disciples fought over who is the greatest, etc.)
Heheh.
But can we make a daily decision to live as we ought: Nazirites who are set apart by Jesus, to go the higher road and honor Him by Loving God above all else and everyone else, especially above LOVING YOURSELF (pointy finger pointing at moi
), and Loving your neighbor as you love yourself.And btw, loving your neighbor entails:
- Setting boundaries so you won't burst out into a tantrum when your limits are pushed. "Let your 'yes' mean yes and your 'no' mean no."
- When you know you could still go the extra mile, take that extra mile with the friend. You will be richly rewarded.
- Zipping your mouth and not complaining or gossiping when an injustice is done to you.
And above all, LOVE, entails commitment. You cannot bail out on God when you think that is convenient. Neither can you bail out on a friend when things get dizzyingly difficult. I pray we would all go that extra mile when the "difficult" occurs.
Phew. Brain dump over.
