Is there really someone watching over you?

Question

The EX Daily Word for August 22, 2007

"Somebody is Watching You!"

Col. 3:17 'And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of
the
Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father.'
NLT

It is a shame when a person that is professing to be a Christian can go
to
work for years and years and no one at their job is ever lead to Christ
by
them. It is a shame how a person can be a Christian and yet live in a
house
for years and years with an unsaved spouse and never lead them to
Christ.
Funny how they can appear so spiritual in church, and yet no one is
ever
affected by them or changed by them. How can you be a Christian and no
one
around you desires your Christ? At that point, you should take a good
look at
yourself and examine your lifestyle. There must be something wrong.
People
don't care how you preach Christ around them, or how you talk about
your church
home to them. They are measuring what you have by your walk. They want
to
know that Christianity is working for you before they decide to try it.
The church is
getting so weak in this area and the world is losing hope in many of
us.

Trying to fit in with the world cost souls. Trying to hang in the club
or
dating unsaved people costs your witness. Your behavior is costing you
many
souls when you don't represent Jesus with your entire lifestyle. You
must
stay in the position to win others to Christ. You must be aware of
people
around you and live according to the word of God in their presence if
you
expect to ever win them to Christ. You can't become like them and
change
them, but you have to show them the best way to live. The way they live
is
not good enough, so don't ever become like them to win them. On your
job,
you must not get close to people that are not living right, but you
must
only get close enough to show them a better way of living. You can't
embrace their lifestyle because that will be approval to them, so you
must
live Christ like in front of them so they will desire what you have.
You
are an example of Christ for the unbeliever or the hypocrite. You
cannot
win them if you operate in sin, unbelief, or hypocrisy yourself!

Answer 2

You are so right dear. the church itself needs to wake up we need to pray for our nation, a s a whole.

IIChronicles 8:14: IF my people whaich are called by my name,shall humble themselvs,& pray,& seek my face,and turn from thier wicked ways,: then will I hear from heaven,and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land".

"Rightiosness exalteth a nation." King Solomon.

We need to spend more time in prayer, I do . the Prayers of the saints will reach up to God, he's already dealing , but we need grace to cope also.

God Bless You & Keep You..

I believe George and Ira Gershwin could tell you.

However, now that I have actually read what you wrote - I do not push my religion on people. My husband does not wish to become Catholic. That is fine w/ me. He doesn't talk down to me for being a Christian and he has no problem that I want to raise our children in a Catholic household.

The people at my work - if they don't want to be saved, fine. I'm not a lifeguard, but when they ask me about it, I tell them.

I hate when people push their own ideas on me. If you hate Bush - good for you. Stay away from me. If you believe John Smith really saw God in a hat - good for you. I believe different. If they really want to believe that - then good for them for actually believing in something !!

Answer 4

Yes, it's the Justice Department, the FBI and the White House.
