"For God
is my King of old,
working
salvation in the midst of the earth."
Psalm 74:12
Acting Saved
There's an interesting
phenomenon
occurring in our society.
There seems to be a high
interest in salvation,
but a low interest in
Christian living.
Church attendance was at
an all time high
with overflowing pews
after the 9-11 attack.
Today, it is still at an
all time high,
with the exception of
the overflow.
There are more men,
women, and children
filling church pews on
Sundays than
at any time in history.
However, the moral
standards
are at an all time low.
Some of these same
church-goers are
divorcing mates,
aborting babies,
cheating on spouses, drinking liquor,
gambling, and abusing children at
an unbelievably high rate.
What's the problem here?
More people today want
to
"Get Saved" than want to "Act Saved."
This conflict
is referred more to
Justification versus
Sanctification!
Is the "proof" of our
salvation portrayed
in "works" through our
salvation
when we're not in the
church pews?
I pray it is.
This Lord's day, may we
carry out our salvation
throughout the entire
week
as we get up off our
church pews.
God bless you.
"Lord
Dictated Them"
