I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a Christian for your benefit. I'm a Christian for my benefit, and how I walk my walk is my business, and how you walk your walk is your business.
I myself, however wretched I may be, have been occasionally privileged to sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and to the extent that his merciful love allowed, have embraced with all my heart, now one, now the other, of these feet.
It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.
Too many people are waiting for Jesus to come along and cut your grass. And Jesus isn't going to come along and cut your grass.
You can be a follower of Jesus and not necessarily be a Christian.
Somehow many have fallen into the belief that being a Christian is supposed to be a cake-walk. It's not.
Through the grace of Christ we shall live in obedience to the law of God written upon our hearts. Having the Spirit of Christ, we shall walk even as He walked.
Lord keep us all from sin. Teach us how to walk circumspectly; enable us to guard our minds against error of doctrine, our hearts against wrong feelings, and our lives against evil actions.
I think you can still look to Jesus' word for guidance in your life. It's just not the guidance that it seems like most Christians are applying to their own lives.
We must always walk in the presence of the Lord, in the light of the Lord, always trying to live in an irreprehensible way.
