MY FRIENDS, DO WE REALLY LOVE OUR MOTHERS ENOUGH TO WANT TO CHANGE?

My friends, we say how much we love our Mothers, but how much? So on this mothers day, we must ask ourselves, is there something in our life that is keeping us from following Christ or being like Him or giving Him our all? If it is, then we must find a way to eliminate what is delaying the process. “If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” (NIV)

And I can say with no reservation, there is a better solution to eliminate what is an abomination to God before having to “gouge our eye out and throw it away.” My friends, has our life became so complicated in this “whatever” generation, In other words are the things of this world making it impossible to be a Christian? If so we must begin to eliminate everything that is not in accordance to the will of God.

And it starts by giving God our all as we study His word and allow God’s Spirit to take full control and as we study we will see examples of faith in others and what giving it all to the Master means, “as we run the race that is before us never quitting as we eliminate from our lives everything that will slow us down along with all sins that will make us fall.” Heb. 12:1(paraphased)

And friends, “Are we unable to find the words that describe how you believe God has called you to know, love, and serve Him because “our affections [are] on things below, [and] not on things above.” Col. 3:2 (KJV) And if somebody or something is dragging you in the opposite direction or not through the narrow gate that leads to the kingdom of God. But through that wide gate and that broad road that leads to destruction that many have decided to go through.

Then we must decide today “How long will [we] falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, [then we must] follow Him; but if Baal [and the things of this world has become our god then we must], follow him.” 1 Kings 18:21 (NKJV) “Our life and who we will choose to serve “at such a time as this” “is part of a spiritual war” between God and Satan, good and evil.

So today we must decide if we truly want to give up the things of this world and live with Christ and our mothers throughout the ceaseless ages of eternity. “For what is a man [or woman] profited, if [we] shall gain the whole world, and lose our own soul? Or what shall a man [or woman] give in exchange for their soul? Matt 16:26 (KJV)

My friends, “we must get used to the fact that our life is lived in the context of warfare. Every breath [we] take is an act of war. To survive and thrive in the midst of the spiritual battle in which [we] live, [then we must] seek a faith context and experience that will enhance [our] capacity to be Christ-like. This mission demands single-minded commitment and a disregard for the criticisms of those who lack the same dedication to the cause of Christ.

[We] should answer to only one Commander in Chief, and only [we] will give an explanation for [our] choices. [So today my friends, if we really love Christ and our mothers, then we must do whatever we have to do to prove that [we] fear God, [and love Him, and our mothers enough. To want to live with them forever and ever in the earth made new”] (George Barna, Revolution, pp 28)
