“The Cost Of Following Christ”

“Teacher I will follow you no matter where you go”!(Matthew 8:19)

We all can relate to the initial enthusiasm we feel as soon as we are exposed to truth, which is the Gospel. We instantly feel a sense of purpose and zeal.This over whelming passion motivates us to follow Christ-becoming Christlike-walking in his footprints.

As Christians it should be our desire to emulate the ministry that Christ established on earth.however, there is a great cost in following Christ.

“But Jesus said “ Foxes have dens to live in and birds have notes, But I, the Son of Man, Have no home of my own, not even a place to lay my head”(Matthew 8:20)

Are we prepared to make the sacrifices for the Gospel?

Its good that we are all passionate and willing to serve Christ and help in building His Kingdom. But there is a cost, a great cost that many of us will have to pay if we choose to wholeheartedly follow Christ and serve in ministry. One of the sacrifices that I believe the scriptures alludes to is sacrificing our earthly securities and placing ALL trust in God.

Are you willing to place your entire trust in God?

To trust God completely means we must have confidence in Him. Sometimes following Christ will test your faith and spiritual strength. But we must remain confident in who God says He is. We must know that our security is in Christ. He will sustain us, provide for us and satisfy us.

The Pill Vs Self Control

I just read an article about the ‘wonders’ the Pill has done for the generations. I was shocked or more like disturbed by the way in which this article glorifies sexual immorality.

“That nice girl ‘did it’ and sometimes even enjoyed it, and that sex need not lead to to marriage.”

Some may believe that the degeneration of societies’ morality began over 50 years ago when FDA approved this contraceptive. However,our lack of sensitivity to moral issues began way before ‘The Pill’ came into play. It took place between two individuals a man and a woman who disobeyed God and ate the fruit from the tree of Good and Evil. As a result,evil has been engraved in the DNA of every creature on the face of the Earth.

Our lack of morality is to be blamed on the great epidemic called sin. Sin is responsible for all the social, physical and spiritual deaths in our society. The media plays a significant role in spreading this social disease among people. This article The Pill glorifies a lifestyle which promotes:

1. Selfishness
2. Idolatry
3. Power

All of these qualities are destructive to the character of an individual. Since sin came into world, people sought things which were beneficial to them and not caring about the needs of other people. Everyone craves power/ wealth and we will do anything to obtain these things. But the problem is that people want to be gods.They want to control their destinies!!

“ It gave us power to decide if and when we were physically, emotionally and financially prepared for the immense commitment to bear and raise a child”.
