No Excuse

On April 24, 2010, seven Christian’s were killed in Nigeria in what is the latest of ongoing attacks against Christian’s in that area. Just weeks before a pastor and his wife were brutally murdered in the same region.

This is only a glimpse of the persecution and death that many of our Christian brothers and sisters are facing around the world. These are people who are unable to worship with the freedom we have in America. These are people who want nothing more than to learn about Jesus, to follow Jesus, to know Jesus, and to tell others about Jesus. These are people who depend on others to share stories from the Bible because they are unable to have a Bible of their own. These are people so willing to identify with Christ, so hungry for His Word; they would rather die than deny Him.

As Americans, we are blessed with the freedom to worship Christ freely. We are blessed to have the Bible, God’s inspired Word, available to us not only in book form, but on CD, mp3, via the internet… there’s even a Bible app for our phones! We have more tools and resources available at our finger tips than ever before. Yet many Christian’s, who themselves will stand up and proclaim, “God is number one in my life”, neglect the very thing that gives us insight into Who He is, and who we are in Him…and another day goes by with our Bible on the shelf.

Christian’s, it’s time to face the fact that when it comes to knowing God and growing in our faith we really have "No Excuse". It's time to rise up and not just read the Word, but to eat It, breathe It, and live It! It's time for action, and there's no time for excuses!

Only serious disciples need apply.

WORD to everybody!
