In Name Only
by Deborah Ann Belka Some say they are Christians but it's in name only . . . and one day they will wake up to find that they are truly lonely. Then they will understand, to be a Christian it takes more than waking up on a Sunday and walking thru the church's door. Some say they belong to Jesus, but they share no intimacy and the Word that they feed on is the same milk of their infancy. For if, they were to hear the meat, they would choke on its sinew as it would expose their every sin and their skepticism would shine thru. Some say they're attached to Christ, by their works and good deeds they brag about, how they go about taking care of everyone else's needs. But, they are fast asleep, and their works to God are dead for their pride will not allow them to be filled or Spirit lead. Some say they love God, but show Him not a bit of passion they neither read nor pray unless they need His compassion. They are just too busy, with other things in their life and they only go to God when they're in a state of strife. Some say they are Christians, only for the name . . . but, one day they will wake up and stand before God in their shame! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
