With everything going on in this world we as Christians must become more and more like God because people are looking for someone or something to do something with this crazy world.
And if we are not the ones to do it, I believe we open unwanted doors to evil to keep drowning out the light of Christ.
And if we are not authentic in who we are and what we believe in, I believe people will continue to laugh us off and deny the Savior of the world. Let us get our heads and our hearts together, walk in integrity and love so much that people will stop us on the street asking about the hope we have within us.
God Bless.
Character Tests
by Joyce Meyer
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the [uncompromisingly] righteous [those upright and in harmony with You]; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God.—Psalm 7:9
Have you found yourself wondering lately if the condition of this world can get any worse? Life is filled with challenges that test your determination and your faith in God. Whether faced with the impending threat of terrorism or with simple everyday hassles, the quality of your character is sure to be tested on a regular basis.
You must remember that God tests our hearts, our emotions, and our minds. What does it really mean to test something? Pressure is put on it to see if it will do what it says it will do. Will it hold up under stress? Can it perform at the level its maker says it can? Is it genuine when measured against a true standard of quality? God does the same with us. Ask God to give you grace to pass all your tests.
