JY you’re back! I love to read your thoughts on coolhombres.com. It reminds me of Buck and Captain Steele in how they relied on Dr. Benjuda to write his teachings on-line to better equip the Tribulation Force.
New Christian? If I want to see things for what they really are my heart needs to be continuously examined. No one is doing is doing it right, save Christ alone. Conditioning of the heart is the focal point of Christianity. (See Psalm 27:8) It is what Christ has called the church (universal) to do. Baptist, Methodist, Non Denominational, Greek Orthodox, Evangelical Frees, Vineyard People, Presbyterians, we are all recovering Pharisees. In my own heart I am judgmental and far worse than I dare want to know. On the flip side though, because of Christ I am far more loved that I can imagine.
I cannot change a man’s heart, but Christ will not loose any of His (See parable of the lost sheep). It is a privilege for us to be part of the great commission. Like anything else we need to ask for opportunities, and then be ready to be obedient in sharing our faith. It is a good and challenging reminder to live our lives in obedience for sharing Christ with others.
Great rulers of the past knew God because of example (See Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Jacob, and David). These guys had a heart for God. How amazing would it be if your manager, co-workers, or dean put out an office or faculty wide email saying “the God of the Cool Hombres is the one and only God.” He knows hearts. He changes hearts. This is my comfort.
