I have been thinking really hard on if I am talking the talk but am I walking the walk? After just graduating and thinking back on all my days in school I began thinking about how I acted in school vs. how I act at church. Was I showing that I was radical in Christ at school? Or only at church? These are the questions I have been thinking about and have been trying to not be prideful when I would answer them to myself.
I challenged myself to be more Christian-like in public and on WR and not to hide my faith in my back pocket only to bring it out on Sunday mornings. And to not be so shy in public when we are praying or even when we show acts of kindness to others that need some God loving people in their lives. This topic has not only made me think about the different ways I act in certain places but also of how I am going to act on this upcoming Gap Year. Will I be a follower or let God lead me to where I need to be and how I need to act?
I want to be better at acting more like Christ in public, especially as I go on WR and meet people who really need Jesus. How will people get to know Jesus if I am so shy not to share my faith to people who need Him?? I need to bring my faith out of my back pocket and keep it out. People may not agree with my faith and they can yell, scream, and protest on why I shouldn’t be Christian but aren’t those the trials that God has specifically said us Christians would go through? Jesus said to use His teaching whenever we were faced with life’s challenges. We all have to be more radical in Christ and show that we lean on God for His support and to not back down when people throw remarks at us that we’re wrong to have faith in what we believe!!
BE RADICAL IN CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
