"How About That Global Warming!"
It was a Sunday after church and I was sitting in my chair at home thinking about the words hot, cold and lukewarm. According to many of those on TV, the world is going through a time of global warming and it's going to create some real problems us. If you tell that to those in North America, where the temps are still in the teens and below, they would laugh. If you tell that to us in the South where we get all temperatures many times in the same day, they will laugh too! But if you are talking about the souls of people, I just don't see it! People seem to be getting colder and colder with little to no thought of eternal things. The Lord said He would rather we be hot or cold BUT lukewarm, no way! I just modernized those words, but that is His meaning. So what's the difference between someone who is in love or sort of in love? When you love someone you go will go the distance for them, but if you sort of love them then there just might be limits. With this in mind, I want you to think about your relationship with Jesus Christ. I know He loves you, that's all over the scriptures, but do you sort of love Him or do you really love Him? It is my hope that the cold hearts of this world go through a global warming so that the love in those souls will melt for the Lord Jesus Christ onto those around them.
I believe that many Christians feel a pulling into the Lords work but they just don't know what to do about it. Is this you? What part of the Lords work do you feel drawn to but refuse to pursue? I want to encourage you to get to work! You are needed so stop putting it off. God has given us only so much time to work on and complete the things that have been assigned to us. Funny thing is we don't always know what those things are so how can we possibly divide out our time. I know this was on my mind when I found myself going into he hospital for an aortic heart valve transplant. I know that from time to time I find myself slipping back into not respecting my life the way I should. When it comes to our faith, we know that if we did it right, there will be Christians coming behind us to continue Gods work. So I guess we should concentrate on "using our life and time wisely."
