For Sunday, September 17, 2023:
Philippians 2:12b NLT: “Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.”
Some Christians only look like Christians on Sunday mornings. But when church is out, they become indistinguishable from the pagan culture surrounding them. Paul advises us that that’s wrong!
Being a Christian, a GOOD Christian, is a 24-7 job. We should be the perpetual light in our little corner of the world. We should look like Christians, act like Christians and sound like Christians full-time, not just on Sunday mornings! Jesus wants to walk with us for our entire lives, not just one hour per week.
Jesus doesn’t just forgive us, love us and grant us salvation on Sunday mornings. He has taken on a never-ending responsibility to care for his flock, the believers. Therefore believers should take on the perpetual task of bringing the light of Jesus into our world. We’re a part of the team!
Shine – full-time!
