WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also". James 2:26. My friend, do you know half of us Christians haven't been to a church service last three months. One third of us haven't been to a religious service for more than a year. Well, sad to say, only ten percent of us believe in all of the ten commandments and forty percent of us believe in five of fewer commandments. Do you know most people do not even know their church's position on the important issues..much less what are the fundamental doctrines in the Bible. This shallow faith are reflecting in our churches today! Years ago, Charles Colson said over the radio "People flit about in search of what suits their taste at the moments. It's what some have called the "McChurch" mentality. Today it might be a Big Mac, tomorrow Wendy's Salad Bar or Chicken Sandwich from Chic-Fil-A or Whopper at the Burger King- Have it your way Whopper" Spiritual consumers are interested not in what the church stands for but in the fulfillment it can deliver at the moment. Kind of mix'em match'em salad bar or buffet spirituality". Ethnic pastors in our churches are satisfied with their duty of "Hatch,Match and dispatch". Man, where is the real vibrant, Bible based, Christ centered, "great commission doing- winning souls" church? Huhh. FAITH WITHOUT WORK IS DEAD! James is simply saying that if one has been truly born anew, his life will be changed, not mere a assent to a creed but a vital faith displays itself in action". Hey, hey, do what Jesus did! none of his apostles washed his feet- but He did, soldiers at the cross did not beg for mercy- but he extended mercy, his disciples and followers fled like scared rabbits on Thursday- but He came searching for them Sunday, He interrupted his plan on the way to heaven and stopped for crying Mary at the tomb, He left heavenly splendor and came to earth for sinful people like you and me. What are you doing my friend? What what are you doing..... ?
