Do you know who you are?

2009-08-04T14:22:00.001-04:00

Who are you?

Seriously. This is an important question.

Contrary to what the world would teach us, you are not a mutation from a monkey.
If you are a follower of Jesus, you are a child of God, chosen by Him, adopted by Him into His family, indwelt by His Holy Spirit and encouraged to come to Him often. We’re told that we can call him Daddy. That’s what the word “Abba” means, as spoken by Jesus in the New Testament.

The immediate message to our hearts of that astounding fact is surely this: Do I, as a Christian, understand myself? Do I know my own real identity? My own real destiny?
Think about it I am a child of God. God is my Father; heaven is my home; every day is one day nearer. My Savior is my brother; every Christian is my brother, too. This is the Christian’s secret of a Christian life, and of a God-honoring life.

This relationship demands a response from us much more than wearing Christian T-Shirts.

To help us realize more adequately who and what, as children of God, we are, and are called to be, here are some questions by which we do well to examine ourselves again and again.

Do I understand what it means to be adopted into God’s family? Do I value it? Do I dally remind myself of my privilege as a child of God? Do I daily think on the love of God to me?

Do I treat God as my Father in heaven? That means I love, honor and obeying Him, seeking and welcoming His fellowship and trying in everything I do to please Him, as a human parent would want His child to do?

Do I think of Jesus Christ, my Savior and my Lord, as my brother? Wow. This means not only has a divine authority over me but also a divine-human sympathy for me? Do I think daily how close He is to me, how completely He understands me, and how much, as my savior, He cares for me?

Have I learned to hate the things that displease my Father? Am I sensitive to the evil things to which He is sensitive? Sin is a crime against God. Do I make a point of avoiding tsin, lest I grieve Him?

Do I love my Christian brothers, with whom I live day by day, in a way that I shall not be ashamed of when in heaven I think back over it?

Does the family likeness appear in me? If not, why not? God humble us; God instruct us; God make us His own true sons.

Think about these things. They make us start to truly appreciate just who we really are.

Christian T-Shirts as witnessing tools

2008-02-02T12:44:00.001-05:00

I've had a lot of fun looking at a Christian T-Shirt site called Online Christian Shopper.

They have all sorts of really fun designs that contain Bible verses that witness the wearer's faith. Some of them are really cleaver parodies. For example, this week, all the media has been gushing abot the return of the popular "Lost" TV show. This site has a really cool T-Shirt that says "LOST?"... "Someone is searching for you." That someone, of course, is Jesus.

And everybody knows the Apple iPod is really popular. You've probably seen Apple's black iPod T-Shirt. Well, this site has a take off on that with a black tee that says "iPray" and references Phippians 4:6.

Cool site. I hope to return and stock up on some Christian clothes.

NFL to churches: Don't show Super Bowl

2008-02-02T09:22:00.000-05:00

A great fellowship opportunity for churches hoping to get new people to visit has pretty much ended with the National Football Leage's heavy-handed warning to churches not to show the Super Bowl on big screens.

The Online Christian Shopper evangelism blog says a lot of churches have stopped the practice in fear of a lawsuit and instead are holding SUper Bwl parties in homes.
