So, I was reading what people were tweeting about on twitter today and I saw a guy who was in the youth group I was a part of and he tweeted tweets that was pretty much cuss words in a big chunk of them. I honestly felt bad by the fact he was doing that; but he claimed that Jesus was his Lord and Savior.
I say that to say this; you are either a Christian or not a Christian. I want you to Check This Out:
-> 78% of Americans claim to be Christians
-> 17% of Christians actually practice Christianity daily
Does this mean that the 17% are Super-Christians??? NO, this means that there are 61% of Americans who call themselves Christians who are either not in church or not truly Christians.
A lot of people call themselves Christians; but they don't live like Christians are called to live. So ultimately, these people are Fake Christians or Practical Atheist.
People don't see this as a problem; but it is. These people have the mindset that they are going to spend eternity with Jesus because they go to church, they pray, they tithe every once in a while, they lift their hands in worship; whatever it is, doing good things or being in some sort of a religious routine won't cut it!!! It's confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord and by having Faith in Jesus ALONE that makes you a follower of Christ. When people come to Christ, you can notice life change and I don't see life change in a lot of people who call themselves Christians.
In Isaiah 29:13 (NLT), God says this to Isaiah:
" These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote (routine)."
God knows the heart of everyone in this world, including yours. Where do you stand??? Do you stand with Jesus??? Or do you stand without Jesus??? These are the only options you got; there is no middle ground or no riding the fence on this. You either are a Christian or you're NOT a Christian!!!
The reason why I can't stand fake Christians is because of the perception people make about Christianity based off of how Fake Christians live and say it. It makes sharing the Gospel with people even more difficult; but as a minister of the Gospel, man it's a challenge that I am glad to accept!!!!!
All I'm trying to say is that if you aren't a TRUE CHRISTIAN, I encourage you to STOP telling people that you are. If you are unsure then you're not a Christian. Now, you can become a follower of Christ for real right now!!! All you have to do is Confess that Jesus is Lord and make Him the Lord of your life (Romans 10:9)!!!
God Bless!!!
