It is interesting to note that many in the Church have a greater passion for what they can have, say, and do rather than for Christ. By this, I mean we will get upset and fight for liberties that do not mean much of anything. We get upset if someone tells us we should not watch something, listen to particular things, or even wear certain things.

Though we are free in Christ, many have allowed their freedom to become bondage to them. Many are vocal about what they CAN do, but are silent about Christ and His work of salvation. We have to be careful that nothing in this life stirs up passion in us more than Jesus Christ. Today, consider your walk and think about what motivates you. Do you spend time trying to figure out what you can do and call yourself a Christian? Or, do you spend more time trying to discover how you can live for Him and promote the truth of the Gospel. It’s time to focus on Christ.
