What does the cross mean to you…
Controversy seems to be brewing over theology and beliefs in the 21st century Church. Many Christian brothers and sisters spend hours formulating arguing points to defend their theological viewpoints. Many spend hours debating or developing blogs to baffle friends and rebuke believers who may not hold to their viewpoints. Some even think it is a badge of honor when they are blog blasted for their stated beliefs. There is certainly no problem finding out what evangelical leaders believe with 24/7 updates to social networks and blog sites that are followed by people with like beliefs.
I think that it is important for the believer to have an understanding of theology. We need to know why we believe what we believe so that we can give a defense to non-believers! We are to work out our Salvation. But, (there is always a but) we (believers) spend way too much time arguing with believers and while this is taking place many non-believers are not hearing the good news!
This trend needs to stop! We have to think about the cross! We have to think about the mission! Jesus came so that we could have life! The lost world needs to hear the good news (which by the way is still good news) of Jesus. We should be ashamed not of the gospel but our actions. We spend way to much time trying to convince believers to believe like us and non-believers are wasting away waiting for someone to live, share and show the gospel to them! The gospel, the good news, the eugellion are still important in the life of a believer! Someone once said, “God does not care as much about your ability as He does your availability!” Are you available? Will your life make a difference for Kingdom by being an active soul winner! If you cannot share with a lost world what God is doing in your life you may need to check and see if God is doing things in your life! I love you all, let us tell some people about Jesus today! <><
