Read and Follow!

I had the weirdest dream last night.  There was this woman who was going around exposing herself to the public.  As I approached her, I covered her and found out from talking to her that she called herself a Christian.  Then I asked her, as my blood started to boil,  "Do you know what it means to be a Christian?"  I said it again to her only louder the second time.  As I spoke all these inquisitive people started to gather around.  Then I shouted it again, "DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHRISTIAN?!"  The woman just sat there staring at me.  The people that had gathered around were all wide-eyed, prodding me to tell them.  Then I said, "If you are a Christian, you read God's Word and follow it!  It's that simple...You read God's Word and do what it says!"  Then I asked the woman, "Do you know what it means when the Bible says, "Let not your nakedness be made known?"  She kinda rolled her eyes at me and said of course she knew what it meant.  Then I started lecturing her again and telling her that she needed to do what God's Word said.

Suddenly I was awakened by a bad storm.  The wind hit the window and both Mike and I jumped up in bed.  As the wind howled, I lie there thinking about my dream.  You know, there are many people who think that because they go to church, they are a Christian.  Others believe that since they are nice people, who do what is right, they are Christians.  And some think that all Americans are Christians...like we are all going to heaven together on some wide happy road....WRONG!

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 7:13-14

There are men and women who stand in the pulpits of churches, calling themselves Christians and yet will tell you that the Bible is not true...or parts of the Bible are not true!  Those people are worshipping a god that they have made up in their mind.  They are not followers of the God of the Bible.

I am sorry, but if you do not read God's Word and follow it, you are not a Christian.  Plain and simple!

Now, to help you understand the heart of what I am saying here, I must add that reading your Bible doesn't make you a Christian in and of itself.   You must be born again, as you will read in God's Word.  For more information on that see my page titled "Are You Good Enough to go to Heaven?"
