[Image compliment of Photobucket]One thing that God has been laying on my heart alot recently is the fact that we need to stop being ignorant in our faith.
Too many times we setttle on the back of the theology we hear spouted all around us, rather than standing up and finding out what we believe and why we believe it. We answer questions with recited answers. We go along with what all the other Christians are doing because we figure they know what's going on better than we do.
This is our faith. Take hold of it!
God doesn't need a bunch of mindless followers wandering idly in His general direction. He calls us to stand up and take hold of the purpose He's given us. He wants children who will sacrifice life and limb to call Him Lord.
How often do we really look in to each aspect of our Christianity? How much of what we believe is based upon actual Scriptural examples rather than our perception of what we think God will be pleased with?
We don't have to go through life guessing at what God thinks and says and does. It's all right there in His Word.
The challenge now is to seek it out.
Find out what God expects of you and dare to go against the mindset of those who'd rather stay in their comfort zones. How much of what you do is actually Biblical or just what you want to do?
Search it out. Know the Truth.
Because ignorance isn't bliss, it only hurts you in the long run.
Have a blessed day!
