Just Thinking Out Loud (Contd) | Thursday, April 28, 2005


I was thinking that even at their deathbeds, they were holding their belief and faith in God so strongly that they would not forsake HIm and throughout the Bible, God delivered them out of harm''s way.I am not talking about the believer''s perserverance but rather the attitude and expectations that a Christian has before God. If God did not do this or that for us, we would forsake Him and live our own lives without Him. If God did not deliver us or help us in our time of need, we get angry with him and leave Him. Are we reverent to Him in the first place or subconsciously treating him as a servant or a genie who do things out of our whims? I really wonder. Jesus hated many things and condemned some for eg. hypocrisy and yet the Christians are the biggest hypocrites in town. We don''t like some people we see and yet when we see them, we pretend that they are our long lost friends and to be so loving towards them where the truth of the matter is that we would rather turn our heels in the other way and walked off. When we ask about the status of the enemy, we pretend that we are so concerned about them but the truth is that we want to hear that they are down on their luck. What hypocrites we are.I told my friends that to believe in Christ is as easy as Abc......... but to live a Christian life is the most difficult road that one could ever follow. No wonder my friend, a Christian, says that the nicest people on earth are not Christians and Christians are not generally nice people. I concur with him
