Subject: What about "The Passion of the Christ"? |
Bible Note: I did a little more study on this topic and would like to add another short supplemental post to that above. This area of Christianity is NOT talked about and practiced very much throughout the brotherhood but I'm afraid it's clear from God's Word that He expects us to be doing it. What am I talking about? Inspecting each other's fruit. Now, we are most certainly NOT to judge one another but we are expected to love our fellow christians enough to be concerned about their growth and maturity in the Lord. First of all, let me cite some passages and these are only a few. If you put any Bible search engine to work, you'll come up with many more but these are some of the best toward my point. Col 1:10, Tit 3:14, Heb 13:15, Jam 3:17-18, 2 Pet 1:8 So after thoughtful and careful consideration of these passages, one must conclude that yes, indeed our Lord expects us to encourage each other with love and genuine concern so that we are motivated to seek out a ministry and put our talents to good use for our Lord and Savior. All I'm saying after several years of being a christian, we should expect it of ourselves and our fellow family members to start putting to practice what we preach. Get out in the world and be that Light for God. Some people never even open their Bible, much less study and find out how to get into God's family. To those kind of folks, you and I must be the representation of God's Word to them. We must show them what we stand for and why; we SHOULD do this with genuine love and enthusiasim for their soul's sake. This is part of the commission of sharing the Gospel with the world. Well, I said short and once again I deceived myself; once I get cranked up it's tough to stop. Anyway, just wanted to share and God bless. |
