One of the problems with Christianity is that it has been 2,000 years since His last visit. For two millennia those choosing to follow in Jesus' footsteps, have been faithfully waiting for His return. From the first century genocide to this day, it gets harder and harder to hold your faith! And those without faith can not understand the importrance of not playing the world's games, of not being distractted from His purposes for us ....
The point is: whether He is here or not, we are supposed do what we are supposed to do! Our instruction set was written out for us 2,000 years ago, no mysteries there! All you have to do is understand! But, our enemyis very wily and very real. It will do everything in its power, short of taking your life, to blind you. And it is very successful against each of us .....
Philippians 2:12-18
Discipleship Is WORK
We are each "to work out" our own salvation.
Not anyone elses.
You are to use what God has given you and what you have learned ....
This about your withness, not a works base statement for salvation!
No Whining Allowed
Verse 14: without grumbling or complaining
In ALL things!
Life is unpredictable.
Horrible things happen.
But, we are not to complain -
And show the reality of Jesus in our lives!
Purpose
To shine out for God.
In the midst of a twisted generation ...
In the midst of a corrupted faith ...
Where no one wants to really find God.
