Christian Living

---

Remember the old proverb, "Like two peas in a pod". Or by definition, Things that are like two peas in a pod are very similar or identical. So, how can this old saying parallel today's Christian environment ? Is the believer and non-believer similar ? Can you tell them apart ?

Are phrases like spirit filled, sanctified, full gospel, gospel of grace, saving faith only meaningless buzzwords to the vast Americans today ? If this statement be true, then we have our work laid out in educating the masses. And until and when this lack of knowledge is altered, we probably will not see a change in the Christian community. For you see, the majority of the population seems to be well satisfied with the "status quo", when it comes to Christianity. ( 1 Cor 15:1-2) ( 2 Peter 2: 20-210 ( 1 Cor 9:27)

So. how do we change this popular opinion, concerning God's doctrines? Or, are people just too busy for Christian activity, these days ?

The most important aspect, is to get the Christians revived. If and when this happens, the "unbeliever syndrome" will take of its self. In other word, as it stands now, the Christian community is certainly " twp peas in a pod". It's very hard to tell the difference between the "saved" and the "unsaved". Not to mention the vast number of Christians, who claim to be saved, but don't believe the full gospel. ( 1 Cor 15:3-4).

You see, we all were born with a sin nature, as a result of the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.( Genesis 3:1-7 ) And as a result, we needed a Savior. ( 2 Cor 5:19) And even though an individual may be saved, sin may enter a believers life. ( 1 John 1:8-10) ( 1 John 1:7) ( Psalm 119:11) ( John 17:15) ( 1 John 1:6) Hebrews 12:6)

So beloved, it's time for an "old Fashion" personal revival.( Psalm 85:6) ( Psalm 138:7) ( Habakkuk 3:2) It's time to go back to that "old time religion ". We need to be "set on fire" for God.( Mal 3:1) We need a fresh touch of "Pentecost". (Acts 2).

After our personal revival, it's time to get to work and point Christians, and unbelievers alike, to our "Living God" . ( Isaiah 55:11) ( Hebrews 11:3) ( John 8:32)

Remember, you should never be ashamed to witness for God. ( Romans 1:16) After all, just simply talk to people, your family, your friends and your neighbors. Just tell them what God's has done for you. ( John 12:32) ( 2 Timothy 2:24)
If Hell is real ? And we believe it is certainly real. Does that not give us an incentive to help keep people from an everlasting torment ? ( Romans 10:14) ( 2 Tim 2:24)

Now, good luck my brethren. Just remember. Nowhere does the scripture promise we will see results from our witnessing. The scriptures only command us to go forth and spread the "good news" of the gospel.

" Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” ( Matthew 28:16-20 )

So, let's get business separating the "Peas In The Pod". That is, making sure we know who the true Christians are.
