WORD 2day: 5th November, 2014

Called Christian? Better be one!

Phil 2: 12-18; Lk 14:25-33

If you call yourself a Christian you better be one, says the Word today. You want to construct a tower but you don't want to procure the material; you want to fight the battle but you don't care to gather the soldiers; you want to be called a Christian but you don't want to take in all those things that makes up that name! What a shame! 

What does it take then, to be a Christian? 
To be a light when every one around is getting used to the darkness; to carry the cross with love when every one around you is waiting to shake off even an extra speck of dust on them; to be holy and blameless while everyone around is losing the very sense of those terms. That is what it takes to be a Christian!

O Lord Jesus Christ, give us the strength, the courage and the light to walk in your footsteps, carrying our crosses and and making a difference in every life we encounter. You are our light and our salvation.
