Okay, this is a topic that has been weighing on my heart lately and I felt the need to share.

In today's society, we have too many people "stuck in the middle" People who claim to be Christians, but still live for the things of this world. You can't live for both God and the world. Jesus said in Matthew 6:24, "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other or he will be devoted to one and despise the other."

What are you devoted to? What means the most to you? What do you love the most? Is it the things of this world or is it God?

If you really and truly believe that God is who He says He is, then you should want to serve Him. If you truly believe with all of your heart that God is the creator of the universe, that He is holy and just and righteous and sovreign then you should be sold out for Him. You should WANT to serve Him with all that you have. If you know about God but don't serve Him, you need to get Him out of your head and into your heart.

There are three kinds of faith:

1. dead faith: knows scripture, can talk about their faith and pray in public but their walk doesn't match up with their talk. This kind of faith only affects the mind. It won't do anything for you or those around you.
   
   
2. demonic faith: just believing. Even the demons in hell believe in God and tremble ("You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." James 2:19)
   
   
3. divine faith: faith as an act of your will to give you life to Jesus Christ.

What kind of faith do you have? Are you serving God or are you serving the world? God sent Jesus to free us from our bondage to the world; we don't have to be slaves of this world any longer! We can be sons and daughters of Jesus Christ!!!

This is all I have time for right now, but more will come later. If you have any questions feel free to comment or message me. I may not know the answer but I can find someone who will :)
