You Have Received Christ as Savior: Now What?

While I love it when I see people come to a saving relationship with the GOD of the Universe through his son Jesus Christ, but I often ask the question on their behalf, now what?

I was left high and dry after I was saved and looked and searched for a long time for the right church. It took way too long and I drifted aimlessly. In other words I was the true definition of a seeker. 

Here is what David Jeremiah says about what really needs to happen after one becomes a new born again believer:

“New Christians need to be fed "the milk of the Word"--basic biblical truths about Jesus Christ and the Christian faith. But that "milk" is for a transitional purpose, just as mother's milk plays a transitional role in human physical development. If a Christian doesn't move beyond basic Bible doctrines into deeper biblical understanding, something is wrong. Spiritual growth only continues when the "milk" of the Word is replaced by the "meat" of the Word.

How would you describe your spiritual diet in terms of how long you have been a Christian? If you are consuming milk too long or meat too soon, your growth will suffer.”

Churches: Please don’t leave your new Christians high and dry, to fend for themselves.

Get them studying, at least have Bible Studies weekly to ensure their growth.

Think about it, pray about, and until the next time, may the LORD bless us and keep us,

In Jesus name I pray.

Politics: Who Do You Trust?

As the political ads are already saturating the air waves with lies and exaggerations and the “It’s not corruption if it’s my guy” attitudes take hold, it all comes down to who do you trust. Who is truly worthy of our trust? 

If you are a professing Christian, there can only be one answer. I trust in no party, no plan, no political or social dogma, no “ology” or “ism”. The only man I trust is the man with the nail scarred hands, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

While it may be our national and some would even say it’s our moral duty to vote, please do so against the measure of biblical truth. Vote for the people who stand on the firmest moral ground.  Hold your nose and perform your civic duty. What we shouldn’t do is get caught up in the debate and get dragged down or dragged into the world, but rather we should always, as much as is humanly possible, stayed focused on Jesus.

Think about it, pray about it.

Until the next time, may the LORD bless us and keep us, in Jesus name I pray.
