Day or Night:

   There is no middle ground for the Soldier of The Cross.    It is always disturbing to hear Believers say things like, "We are dreaming of owning our own home someday. . ."  or, " I just want to travel as much as possible and see all the sights of the world. . ."    While those things are certainly not wrong, they should not be sought apart from Christian service.  If there is a home, it must be dedicated to the Lord and given for His use, whatever that happens to be.  Vacations re not unchristian, but a goal of seeing much of the world is not a godly one unless it is for the purpose of serving the Lord.    Heaven is not real to many Believers.     Being a Soldier of  The Cross means dwelling and living in a place of the death of the gravity of the flesh, and following hard after Him.     You have one life.  There must be a single eye and a firm goal - knowing Him, serving Him and preparing for eternity, all the while bringing as many to Christ as possible.    No compromise.  Your pockets will be turned out when you stand before Him.
