OPEN MINDEDLY FOOLISH! The Folly Of Modernism and 'Trendy' Trends Part 10
Scratch My Back I Scratch Your Back!
Amidst a society that is totally immersed in being self-seeking, the
church is finding it even harder to uphold the value of selflessness. It
is not uncommon nowadays to hear someone pose the question "what am I
getting out of it?"; It is important to understand gain and risk before
making a commitment but it is also prudent to act on obedience!
The principle behind Christian obedience is trust in God! You may not know the end from the beginning but He does! You may not be deserving of His grace and mercy but He avails them in plenty! Does He still love us when we're out of His will? Yes! So when the world is busy deceiving us that we need to use human effort to please Him, He says "just have faith!"; When the world says we need to fix ourselves up so we access Him, grace tells us "come as you are!"
