"Christianity is a joke because Christians don't act like they are suppose to with Christ, you know what, its not a big deal, heres why..because you and I are the same person, we act the same, we talk the same, we do the same things, ask anybody that knows the both of us and they'll say the only difference between you and me is you don't get to sleep in on sundays and I do."


Since I came upon this video the beginning of this school year, I probably watched it about 5 times now and every time it still has the same affect on me. The thing with God's words is just that, no matter how many times you hear/read the same thing, something about it can still hit you whether its the same point or different. Thats because we're not perfect so everything that God says still has a relevance to us in one way or another. (I never understood people who say how they can't take anything else from the bible because they read it 5times, or a worship song is overplayed so they're sick of it now...theres always something there that points back to God!)

That line I quoted up there was the line that hit me every time i watched the video. I can never get sick of it because its always going to be something relate-able to me. I am a sinful person afterall. This line slapped me hard in the face because if i was in the man's shoes, i wouldve started crying on the spot. As a Christian we are called to be in his image, we are his ambassadors, people just automatically make the connection that what we do is who God is. That's how the world judges us and God knows it, thats why he wants us to walk in his image. He wants us to live a life that glorifies him...that means when others look at you they see how great God is. Like when someone punches you in the face and you turn the other cheek, if they ask you why you're not fighting back and you say wholeheartedly "because God told me not to" how would that affect the way they live? A friend of mine told me how the way she judges her actions is by thinking "if Jesus were to appear before me at this very moment would I be doing/saying the stuff I am now?"

When we come to Christ, our old selves die and we are made new in him. If we still live the same way we did before knowing God then is there really a point? And for all those lost people who sees your actions, they will only keep running away from God because you made him into someone who is a part of the world and nothing greater.

James 2:17 says "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. And do so wholeheartedly because God sees your heart.
