Tired of lukewarm Christianity I believe that Christians all over the world are tired of half-hearted and lukewarm Christianity. As a teenager, I remember desperately looking for something real in my life. I read my Bible, prayed, gave tithes and regularly went to church, but I was not real with God. I was so tired of all that the world had offered me and I knew Jesus Christ was the only one who could turn my life around. I made the decision to get right with God once and for all. In prayer, I surrendered myself to Him and to His will for my life. At last I felt free! There was no more inward struggle with God and I finally received the peace of God within my heart. It was the beginning of a great challenging faith adventure that gave fresh direction to my life and I am still riding that wave today! Every Christian is challenged by the Lord to get real with Him. It is so easy to hang around the Lord, hoping that He is going to bless us. But Jesus wants people who will follow Him where ever He goes. What about you, are you hanging around God, or walking with Him wherever He leads? '…If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.' John 7:37-38. Paul Backholer Back |
