So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
–James 4:17
I heard about a man who was fired from his job. So he approached his boss and said, “How can I be fired?! I didn’t do anything!”
His boss quipped back and said, “That’s exactly the reason you’re fired!”
I meet many Christians today who say, “I don’t do this and I don’t do that.” They’re people who think that the Gospel is only for the murderer, the pervert, or the prisoner. “It’s for the people on the other side of the tracks,” they think, “but not us!”
But how many “Christians” today are good for nothing when it comes to Kingdom service? They break God’s laws and commandments every day, failing to do what God has assigned them to do.
You and I are not here just to take up space and obey a few rules. We’re here to make a difference for Christ! God wants to strategically use us to expand His kingdom and make His name known to the ends of the earth.
Don’t think the focus of the Christian life is to simply obey the rules. God has called you to live as an active agent for His kingdom!
DON’T SETTLE FOR JUST OBEYING THE ‘DON’TS’ OF YOUR FAITH. BE AN ACTIVE AGENT FOR GOD’S KINGDOM PURPOSES!
