The Problem with My Christianity…Continued Again

The Problem with My Christianity…Continued Again
Where will my love go? Does my love take me to the heights of a bended knee? Or does it stop in a mouthed expression of an inward sentiment? I love the Lord and yet I ask myself, do I really love Him?
I seem to love the delight of personal fulfillment and achievement. The promises in scripture seem to point to my immense gratification. There’s definitely something wrong with my Christianity.
Whatever happened to ministering to the poor, orphans, homeless, hungry and imprisoned? Something has definitely been eating my spiritual brain. I must have been looking from a dim glass.
Jesus died for these ones and He calls me to go out not just on a gospel crusade. He calls me to go also on a social crusade by helping to provide shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, friendship to the imprisoned and much more.
I’m seeing better…There is Christianity loftier than my Christianity.

The Problem with My Christianity…Continued
Do I really believe in a local ecclesiastical body known as the Church? What does the Church do for me? What do I do for the Church? What does God do in the Church through me and in me through the Church? Questions, questions, questions.
The Church seems to have been defined in my Christianity as the comfort cocoon where I do all my spiritual tokens, i.e. worshiping, giving, loving and serving.
Once again I say, the problem is not with Christianity, it’s with my Christianity. The problem is not with Church, it’s with my definition of Church.
This definition of Church puts the responsibility of my ministry to the Church not me. I am what I am because my Church made me so. I am not missionary-minded because my Church is not…how convenient.
This happened in the Early Church. They got comfortable with Church administration; God sent persecution to spread them, thereby spreading the message. They learnt to work once again outside the organized Church structure
I think my Epiphany is starting. I’m starting to see clearly.

The Problem with My Christianity

The Problem with My Christianity
These past days have had me thinking deeply about the things I believe in. Is it possible to believe in something and not live it? Is the kind of believing that stays in the heart & head and finds no expression in everyday living really “believing”?
It would seem that I have a lot of cerebral theology but minimal spiritual theology. I gleaned recently that spiritual theology is the knowledge of God that is lived in everyday life.
But scripture makes no dividing allusion in our theology. All our theology must be spiritual, i.e. lead to a response in every day living.
There is something wrong with my Christianity, I know so much but live so little. I can’t agree that I believe in all I know or live all I know. There has to be more than this daily grind.
Christianity is a promise of so much life to be lived yet something tells me I’m far from where I ought to be.
The problem is not with Christianity, it’s with my Christianity. I hope this period of sobriety may lead to a personal Epiphany and more
