I can think of no sadder sin than the sin of “I don’t want to get involved.” Many men are convinced they are going to heaven, but seem content to let the world go to hell. To embrace,overthrow, or withdraw from the world misses “the way of Jesus.” A man’s proper stance is to engage the world—to get involved. Jesus said, “Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world (John 17:18)." However, engaging the world will require something from the disciple. Jesus said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it (Luke 9:23-24)." The full article is available FREE to registered users. Please SIGN UP or LOGIN to view. |
