Subject: Comfort Zone? |
Bible Note: The fight is not easy, and it lasts a lifetime. If you don’t mind me asking, how long have you been running this race?? What I’ve notice about this Comfort Zone is that it is not a place for New Christians. My personal experience has shown me that if evangelizing the entire world were possible within a few hours, then it would probably be a New Christian that would get the job done. Upon conversion, New Christians are Gong Ho for the Lord. They have a fire within them for the things of the Lord that I find amazing. It is after being in this fight for awhile, after running this race for awhile that I notice that a Comfort Zone become more of a possibility then at the forefront. I’m not saying that all Older Christians fall into this trap, but it is something that I believe that all Older Christians have to contend with, like any other sin. In Eph. 6, I’m under the impression that when Paul was talking about the Armor of God, he was speaking in military terms that gave the impression that as solders, we are suppose to dig a trench, get in it, and fight to keep the ground that we have gained. Never giving up; Never loosing the ground; and NEVER turning our back on our enemy. In this type of fight, there is absolutely no room for a Comfort Zone. It takes strength from God, courage from God, and complete dependence on God. If you’re fighting this kind of fight, then keep it up. You’re not alone. You have many other soldiers fighting with you. I have a T-shirt that says, “Keep working for the Lord. The pay may be lousy, but the Retirement Benefits are out of this world.” The CurtMan |
