Some people go to the gym to work out and some people go to
the gym just to go to the gym. They like
to be seen with their little sweat bands and head bands, and their matching
shorts and tee shirts. They have their
cute little gym bag with their Nalgene water bottle with the sipper spout. They go to the gym, but they hang out at the
smoothie bar and talk. Oh, they may take
a selfie with an exercise machine in the background, but they never break a
sweat. Hey, there are folk who go to
church just like our friends who go to the gym.
Some go to church to worship God, but many go to church just to be at
church. They like to hang around with
the good people. They like to dress up
and look good so that they can tell everyone at work on Monday that they went
to church on Sunday. But church never
makes a difference in their lives. They
never break a spiritual sweat. That’s
because they are professors and not possessors.
They know about Jesus Christ, but they don’t know Jesus Christ. And when things get tough, they can’t make it
because they are spiritually flabby. The
apostle James warns in James 1:22, “But be ye doers of the word, and not
hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
Hey, get honest with God. But
more importantly, get honest with yourself.
Are you an authentic Christian?
Then act like it! Or are you just
a pretend Christian? You need to get
honest and trust Jesus. Get real ... really!
