Look
at the life of Pastor G. Craig Lewis a preacher fondly known for his revival
messages about the destructive and subtle world of secular media. In one of his
messages he said that he once walking down the road when he looked back at his
son and saw he son walking just like him!
I
think it is a great issue that although there are many people who profess and
confess Christianity and Christ but have their hearts far from him, so much so
that very few people get led to Jesus by our 'witnessing' in lifestyles not our
words. It is kind of embarrassing and sad that we have so many pastors,
Christians, churches and ministries (tract, TV, gospel musicians, gospel
movies, etc) and yet evil prevails and many are still without Jesus! These
remaining ones who are not believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour are
not the ones who perpetuate these evils majorly. It’s still done by
'Christians’ or people who profess fear of God in other faiths! I’m starting
with myself, let my life bear witness of God's mercy, grace and way, truth and life.
Christians
are to enjoy life and enjoy one another. When children see no joy in their
home, no joy in your Christianity, they will not be attracted by it. When they
see you excited about going to a club, party, shopping malls, cinema, fast
food, or watching television, and then dragging around to do spiritual things-
like prayers, praising and bible study, they will soon get the idea that
Christianity does not mean much to you. Your attitude will rub off. A woman
once said that the best way to get a child to eat his food, vegetables and
fruits is to see his parents enjoying theirs. Our children will not be
attracted to Christ if we make Him seem dull.
