Oh Be Careful Little Eyes....

I'm struggling now with this thought. How much of my life is NOT in line with 1 Cor. 10:31 and how much of me doesn't care?

That’s the battle folks. Our flesh is in battle with our spirit, and the things of this world that are so tempting to participate in, watch, listen to, talk about, joke about…are often times in direct contradiction to what we are to be as Christians and to be frank…WE DON’T CARE.

We are called to be holy as Christ is holy, but are we trying to be? Do we care enough about what Christ did for us on the cross to really make changes in our lives? It’s easy to point a finger at what is wrong with the world and what they do…It’s easy to point a finger at the Church and where they are missing the mark in their impossible mission to be relevant to the world…But what about our own lives? What about the areas of our own life and the choices we make? How much of what we choose to do is not a reflection of God and his righteousness? How much of what we choose to watch is not Christ-like?

The Argument…It’s fun to do, I enjoy it, it’s not hurting anyone…Or, It’s a good movie…it’s a great song…It doesn’t effect me because I don’t ‘struggle in that area…

The Question We Must Ask: Does it bring God glory?

If the answer is no. Then the argument is pointless. Our flesh craves things of this world. As Christians, we are called to avoid these things; regardless how fun, entertaining, humorous or ‘good’ they are. If it doesn’t bring glory or honor to God…we don’t do it.

James 4:4 tells us:

“Whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”

Not a rebuke...Just a thought. And I hope that these truths and convictions that God is revealing to me can also penetrate your heart and help you grow spiritually as well.



For His Glory,

Jason
