Enough is Enough 

Reading: 1Peter 4:3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.

At what point in our lives do we say “wow…what was I thinking”? Is it looking at our hair and clothes in old high school photos? Is it watching the video online of the thing you did in college? What things have made you think “what was I thinking”?




Of all the truly embarrassing moments in our lives, in how many of them are we ashamed to call ourselves Christian?


It’s time to be honest. If you were on a game show and hooked to a lie detector where would you place God amongst things such as possessions, drinking with friends, flirting with the opposite sex, money and other “joys” of this world? Would you deny any knowledge of God if someone offered you a million dollars to do so? I would hope your answer is no. We are Christians. Not elite in the way that we consider ourselves better than anyone else, but elite in the fact that we have the knowledge and ability to spread the Word of God. It’s never really easy being a Christian, but I don’t think it’s necessarily supposed to be. I am a Christian man and I will fight for my God. I will fight for my brothers. I will wield the double edge sword known as the Word of God. I have spent enough time living the life of a pagan. Now I will live the life God intended for me.

How can you separate yourself from the things of this world today?


How can you take a hold of your sword, the Word of God, today and use it?



End of the Day Review
  
How were you able to separate yourself from the things of this world today?
 
 
How were you able to take a hold of the Word of God and use it in your life today?
