Biblical Success - Running the Race of Our Lives - for Such a Time as This

DAY 2 OF 5

So the world accuses us of hypocrisy and says we want the same things they want and to do the same things they do. Where do they get that idea? What do they see that causes them to speak that way? There must be some things that are common enough that, in their opinion, make them credible to them. Could they be watching our most successful and high profile models of Christianity, let’s say superstar megachurch pastors and entertainers and how they live? Or watching our music videos and listening to our music and are unable to differentiate between theirs and ours? Have they done business deals with us where money was a stumbling block or were they treated in a way that showed the love of money rather than the love of God drives us? Do they live near us as neighbors but never hear us speak of our Savior and thus judge that He isn’t important enough to us to mention to them and if there really is a hell that we are indifferent towards their going there? Do we seek after worldly riches with the same passion that they do and then spend them on the same pleasures and luxuries as they do with perhaps with no discernible difference? 

Are we living as rich fools in a world that is starving for both physical and spiritual food? What are your thoughts? What do they see versus what should they see? And what are you doing to let His Light shine into the darkness of the world?

About this Plan

Biblical Success - Running the Race of Our Lives - for Such a Time as This

This plan is a challenge to run the “race set before us” mentioned in Hebrews 12:1 in a way that will cause the fearful crowd in this world who are watching us to notice a difference in our lives. We will use 5 direct quotes from Jesus in Luke chapter 12 to guide our discussions and draw out our thoughts in these uncertain and often troubling times.
