During church today at Moody Bible Institute, there was a visiting Pastor preaching and he proposed a great question. He asked "Why is it that Christians have to backslide in order to hangout with other Christians?" This is something that I have discussed with my friends as well. Why is it that other Christians do not want to hangout with you if you are deciding that you want to try and live the way God has called us to live. People call you a "SUPER CHRISTIAN". We as Christians are called to discipleship and are supposed to be disciples for Christ. We are supposed to have a different walk than everyone else. I think that Christianity has gotten so watered down now that as a Christian you are looked at as not being "real" if you choose to be obedient to God's word and give up your worldly desires for him. But we must remember that Jesus committed the ultimate sacrifice for us. There is nothing that we can give up that will ever come close to what he has given us....The gift of eternal life! There is no such thing as a SUPER CHRISTIAN! You can never serve God to much or be too obedient to his word. A great example of how we should sacrifice for Jesus and serve him can be taken from John 12 1-8. ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP ANYTHING FOR JESUS???
