Comfortable Christians ..... a predominant concept in today’s world ! We want our cake and eat it too ! ! ! Do not get me wrong, I fit in the same boat. I have a hard time crossing the street to minister to my neighbor ! Why ? First of all it is an uncomfortable thing to do - to “care” for someone who is not in my circle of “friends” and family.
But, we are commanded to ‘love your neighbor as your self’ !
So how do we get out of the ‘rut’ that we have comfortably moved ourselves into ?
1. Focus daily (actually every minute !) on Jesus Christ
2. Rely totally on the Holy Spirit to lead us in all that we do
3. Study and meditate on His word (the Bible)
4. Seek after His kingdom and its righteousness
5. Seek after His agape love for those around us
6. Do not be afraid to be bold for the sake of the gospel
7. Pray, pray, pray, pray
