My beloved, when we are in Christ, we must be in Him to the fullest so that His glory shines throughout the world of darkness. We cannot have one foot in this world and the other foot in Christ. Either we give our life entirely to Christ or we keep our pagan ways. So many times, we as Christians partake in the worldly dealing because we find it fun and interesting.

Will you take a stand for Him and confess Him before man, or will you deny Him? At times, we can become so self-conscious about what people think about us. However, we must stop looking across and start looking up. The only person who has a worthy opinion of us is the Lord Jesus Christ. Nobody but Jesus is our security and salvation for eternal life. Our final destination, our last ride, has already been paid for by God through the death of His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, which sealed our salvation with His blood, and gave us life, eternal life, life more abundantly, through His resurrection. So at the crossroad, what will you do? My prayer is that we all make the right decision. In the name of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
