How many times do we hide our belief in Christ? A lot of times, it's because we want to be normal, or we want a normal person, a non-believer to like us. Like, for instance, ( this is not true. It is just an example.) a non-believer friend or such, blows up at us because we don't agree on some of the movies they like. The options are endless. The point is, they ask us why we don't like the movies, and are we really religious or something? And here is what we say, " What? Oh, no, no. I'm not religious! I have no idea why I said that! I forgot to say that that is my all-time favorite movie!" Now, why do we say that?
Because we want to be normal. I think trying to be normal should be one of the things all Christians should stay away from.
Even in the Bible, in Luke 6:26, it explains that we should be as different as possible. It says," Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you. For so did their fathers to the false prophets."
If we are normal, and everyone likes us, then how can we minister? How can we be Christians? We should be different in order for us to minister. The Bible says Woe! Woe unto you who when all men shall speak well of you!!
If you're a Christian, yes, a lot of people are going to hate you. Welcome to my life! I live in Venezuela and lots of people don't like me or my family, just because we are Christians and we wanted to minister to the Ye'kwana Indians in Chajuraña.
They disliked us so much they told us horrible things, they told us to go, and to take our ministry with us! Sure, we were hated, resented, and people wanted to spit on us. But we took it, and were proud that we had done the most important thing. We had left the Word of Christ with as many Indians as we could, and right now, those Indians still believe in Him, and they are still glad being Christians and glad telling others about Christ. That makes me happy!
Now, we should be PROUD to be Christians!! We should be overjoyed to know that God loves us and the world! Not upset and embarrassed. Not ashamed that people don't like us if we are who God wants us to be! Now, let's grab our Bibles, and let's get out there in the world, and share our happiness with others. Let's make the world as happy as we are in the same way we are!
WHO'S WITH ME???
