Can't have it both ways...

As Christians, we can't have it both ways. We can't love the ways of this world and still have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We're told this in Gods Word. 1 John 2:15 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him". God takes first place in a Christians life, not the ways of this world. Either one is a geuine Christian marked by love and obedience to God, or one is a non-Christian in rebellion against God. There is no middle ground, you can't straddle the fence on this. What's important in your life? Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:20 "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." We can't just go through the motions of Christianity and follow the ways of the world. We have got to strive for righteousness every single day. Do we fall, yes because we're sinners, but the difference is whether your striving for righteousness and repenting when we do sin or choosing to willingly live in sin everyday and only giving Jesus 60 minutes of your time a week on Sunday. Look back to what Jesus said, "...will by no means..." not probably won't, or maybe won't, but "..will by no means...". That means there's no question about it.

God has blessed me with three wonderful children Christina, Mary and Jake and a beautiful wife Teresa. I'm not a preacher, just an everyday guy with the desire to share Jesus Christ.
