By taking the name Christian, we are telling the world that we are committed to following Christ. Along with the name Christian, most also take the name of a denomination where we meet with like minded people in pursuit of Christ's example to help ourselves, one another, our community and the world at large.
Do you feel that you deserve to wear these names simply because you have stated you will? Do you feel we should be granted them or work to earn them? I know God's Grace cannot be earned, I know it is a gift given freely to all who ask...but is that it? Doesn't that make us responsible for spreading the Word, living the life and furthering the work of the Church? Isn't there a price to be paid?
We are scheduled to have a Mini-Retreat at our Church this Saturday. Everyone is invited to participate...how many of you will be there? What are you willing to give up in order to have a voice? Do you really have something better to do?
