I loathe the thought of this, but if I’m honest, I must confess that I probably have practiced ‘Convenience Christianity’ too often. Is God really first or do I schedule Him around life/things? We live in a demanding ‘me’ society, taking care of numero uno, do what feels right and when! May God grant me mercy as I have confessed/repented of not taking a firm stand for God and conforming to the world with a tolerant attitude. 1 Corinthians 16:13 says, "Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Also, we see in Isaiah 7:9, If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the world-my translation-Don’t be tolerant, but bold and courageous for Christ. God demands a life of total surrender, we cannot straddle the fence(Matt 6:24) and be obedient when we choose-when it’s convenient. Christians must be available, willing to serve 24/7, that is why we are here, the reason God created us. I am part of His body in the 21st century to share the good news of Christ-obediently/faithfully. I must ask myself, ‘Am I willing and open to God’s will/purpose for my life?’ Thus, being available and obedient! Blessings in your pursuit…….TO
