Let's be noticed!

     It sickens me that people bow down to peer pressure to not offend anyone.  John the Baptist came from the wilderness wearing offensive clothing and eating locusts and honey.  Yet, people flocked to see him, confess their sins, and to hear the good news.  Many became his disciples which John in turn sent to Jesus.  Telling a Christian that they need to tolerate other beliefs is a challenge to war for a very few.  Unfortunately, the Christian world has been in the habit of compromising their faith so long that it's the rule rather than the exception.  People, WHAT are you doing?!  Christian, WHAT are you doing?!  For the sake of those perishing, go out and be offensive!  Placating those around you isn't found in the Bible.  Tolerating isn't found in the Bible.  There is no reference anywhere in the Bible that tells us to be accepting of others beliefs!  NONE!  The Bible does tell us to be unwavering with our faith.  The Bible tells us to speak boldly the message of salvation found only through Jesus.  The Bible tells us to be a light on a hill and not under a basket!  The assignment you, if you know Jesus, is to go into all the world and heal the sick, deliver the demon possessed, and to preach the Gospel so that all may be saved.  That's what the Bible says.  So, let's be noticed.  Let's scare the hell out of them!
     Just what are you doing with the free gift of salvation that God has so mercifully given to you.  Are you putting the gift into a safe place or are you sharing the gift to everyone you meet?  If you aren't talking to people about Jesus daily, you aren't giving people anything.  What good is your message if no one hears it?  Stop rationalizing and justifying why you are sinning against Jesus by not being a Christian to others.  Stop the lying you are doing when you say that it's not your job.  Stop the excuses!  YOU are the reason others are not hearing the Gospel and are heading straight to hell.  YOU are the stumbling block.  YOU are the problem!  YOU don't pray. YOU don't adore Jesus.  YOU don't confess your sins.  YOU aren't thankful.  YOU aren't asking what God wants in your life.  If I know this do you really think that God isn't aware of what YOU think, do or say?  In order for the Gospel to be noticed people need to know Jesus through you.  If you don't have Jesus living through you then you aren't a Christian.  You are a fake and they will know it.  If you don't have persecution in your life you aren't doing anything for Jesus.  Satan doesn't bother with those who are working for him under the guise of being a Christian.
     Should you begin to take Jesus seriously and understand your life isn't yours, maybe people will see that there is something different about you and ask you what that is?!  Novel concept!  The Bible warns us that we need to be separate from the world.  Be in the world but not of the world.  How will the world know about Jesus if we spend our time being the world to others rather than Jesus?  Be Jesus to the world!  No excuses and no compromise.  Don't join in with the world as they celebrate Santa Claus and commercialism.  Don't join in with the world as they celebrate that demonic holiday of Halloween.  Don't tell you kids lies like the tooth fairy.  Who are we kidding?  All we do when we engage the latter is tell our kids and others that it's okay to lie!  Satan is the father of lies.  You participate in the lies he tells to the world and you are serving him rather than Jesus.  Don't like that?  Get right with God.  While many Christians go to Easter Egg hunts at churches where the children get the hunt and adults buy their specialty drinks and watch, Satan is wandering amongst you and your children with no one to stop him.  Even the pastors and other leaders are doing the work of Satan when they don't do the work of Jesus.  Many pastors think they are saved when all they have is a form of godliness that isn't of God.
     You say, "But I love Jesus."  Then begin to act like it.  Let God check out your heart as you spend time in private adoring him, confessing to him, thanking him and then asking him what he would like prayed about.  Maybe you might just become pleasing to God rather than man.  There are many churches I don't want to be associated with because they don't love Jesus.  The message is all about the world and not about Jesus.  There are many people who call them Christian that the same applies.  Be careful with what you think, say and do because people and Satan are watching.  Be noticed by Jesus living through you with no apologies!  Get the Gospel in you noticed.  Now!
