God’s Compass

Amidst all the craziness in life, it’s comforting to realize that we don’t have to know where we’re going as long as we know who we’re following. We don’t need to understand how we’ll reach our destination; we simply have to know why. We see only a small piece of the complete picture that God holds in His hands. On our own we are helplessly lost, but when we surrender our lives to Him, we are found and placed on the proper path for as long as we will follow. You are simply wasting your time trying to figure life out on your own.

Within Christianity there are two camps; those who are spectators and those who are participants. The true followers of Jesus are those who participate in His mission on earth. Spectator Christians are those who have prayed the “sinner’s prayer” and are content to go to church on Sunday and perhaps volunteer every now and then for one of the various ministries of their congregation. To which group do you belong? I believe those whom Christ will welcome into His kingdom are those who have chosen to do the things He commanded us to do: to feed the hungry and care for the orphans, the widows, and the sick. Following the commands of Jesus means that we will have to get our hands dirty and, yes, participate in the work itself.

Opinion column in a newspaper

Every day we read the news and it seems our world keeps going from bad to worse. It can be discouraging as we try and live for Christ on a planet that seems determined to eradicate His name from its vocabulary. Intellectually we know that God is in control and in the end He will triumph. Through our logical eye, however, we question how that will ever be possible in a world that seems to have simply gone mad. Good news seems even better than it is because it has become so rare. Newspapers and web sites are full of negative stories be it concerning the economy, war, or violence perpetrated against random individuals. Over time it becomes numbing to the point that we simply get used to bad news.
