COULD YOU BE CONVICTED?
COULD YOU BE CONVICTED?
WE live in a world
WHERE people are convicted
Of all kinds of things
Every day
Murder-rape-larceny-theft-and-on-
And on-& on-and on
But my question
To you is:
COULD YOU be convicted
Of being and LIVING as a CHRISTIAN
Christians are GOOD AND KIND
LOVING AND FORGIVING
Maybe things
That many people consider even weak
In today's world
But true Christians
Are people
That make a positive difference
In today's world
CAN YOU be convicted
Of being a Christian?
Are you living
As Christians
NOT just talking the talk
But walking THE WALK
If so
GOOD for you
For we NEED
MORE true Christians
In today's world
“The disciples
Were first called CHRISTIANS
At Antioch” Acts 11:26
Barnabas and Saul were present
And met with the church there
And taught great numbers of people
For an entire year
So WHAT does it mean
To actually be a CHRISTIAN
To be CONVICTED
Of being one today
“And whoever
Does not takes up his cross
And FOLLOW ME
Is NOT worthy of me” Matthew 10:38
I never
EVEN in my wildest dreams
Would ever think
That I am WORTHY of being
THOUGHT as in the same breadth
As my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
LIVE=kindness and forgiveness
I TRY to carry the CROSS
By putting GOD AND CHRIST
ABOVE all others (then family and friends next)
And above-all things
CARRYING the cross
And acknowledging Jesus
Above all others
Above all other things
Means you can say
“I AM A CHRISTAN”
And you can be
CONVICTED as such
Carrying the cross
And following Jesus
As his disciple
MEANS you are truly
LIVING as a Christians
And making a difference
In today's world
FOR ME
IF I am ever CONVICTED
as living as a CHRISTIAN
There could be
NO GREATER HONOR
