Happy Easter
Happy Easter!
The Lord has risen... and has conquered death. He's conquered all... it was thru His death and resurrection that He made us perfect.
I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you... are you ready to accept Him for what He's done for you?
We usually have a large crowd of 'Christians' at our church... but one thought that came to my mind was - how many of us were really in the 'Spirit' with God? How many are actually just following the traditions, rituals, without understanding the purpose of them. How many are actually praising God with their hearts... and not their lips?
Everything was ordered and structured... so perfect. But is that the way it should be?
We have certain rules/guidelines/instructions laid out in the Bible... but how many of us are really Cafeteria Christians... picking and choosing what we wish to follow and what we think pleases or satisfies God?
The orthodox, relgious priests have their own picks, the moderate Christians have their own pick and chose verses, and even the unbelievers have their own pick of verses to substantiate themselves.
But leave aside the debates. Let's ask ourselves... have we really risen with the Lord? In Spirit... or just in words. I ask myself this today... I have to honestly say... I have failed as a Christian. Now the question for me is, do I want to stay like this, or change my life (once again)?
God Bless and Have a happy yet, thoughtful Easter...
