The Chronicles of a Christian

Blog Updated!

Woah, it's been a long time.

So I just wanted to share with you the God moments that I've been having.

I live in a place where as long as you don't do the three "cardinal sins" (drink, drugs, sex) and tell people (and include in your facebook status) that you are a Christian then you're covered. Faith is rarely talked about among friends and decisions are rarely ever made with biblical council and prayer.

After being in Moncton for a few years now I've really noticed my downfall in this area. For instance, speeding. I LOVE SPEEDING. I love the thrill of going fast. I love when everything is rushing by you. I love the thrill of almost being caught. I love the feeling of cheating death. I LOVE SPEEDING. After a brief discussion with a friend God used him to remind me that being a Christian is more than "loving God and loving people." Although I still stand by my original statement that being a Christian is not about following a list of rules there should come a point in our Christian walks where we want to do these things.

During Beulah this year the light kind of came on for me about scantification. There are Christians who would do anything for God, even to the point of pain, or loss. On the other hand, there are also Christians who wouldn't. This idea has always perplexed me until that moment when I realized I am one of those Christians who probably wouldn't but I want to be the type of Christian that would.

So, what do I do with this? First, I've got to cut down on the speeding but I've also got to start questioning more things in my life; more quick decisions that I don't even think about.

I'll be praying that God opens my eyes to those decisions. Maybe more to come later?
