To The Church
February 16, 2015Church,
the world is watching you.
Church,
your neighbors are watching you.
If you claim to be a Christ follower,
act like it.
If you're not going to act like it,
just shut up and sit down.
I stumbled across a post this evening written by a man who appears to have it out for the church. So, it's going to be easy for him to find faults with Christians.
He shared his first-hand experience of how he witnessed the low-life down the street snow blow the sidewalk of the entire block.
He then shared how the man at the holy church next door has never gone an inch beyond their property line in their snow blowing efforts.
I know it can seem petty or insignificant, but Church, the world is watching. Don't let them use you as their excuse.
"For
I was hungry and you gave me something to eat;
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink;
I was a stranger and you invited me in;
I needed clothes and you clothed me;
I was sick and you looked after me;
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink;
I was a stranger and you invited me in;
I needed clothes and you clothed me;
I was sick and you looked after me;
I was in prison and you came to visit me."
Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?"
The
King will reply, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
Matthew 25:35-40
