Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

   The question has been posed - if you were arrested for being a Christian, 
would there be enough evidence to convict you?
     Here is the test:
       Do you turn the other cheek, or do you fight back?
       Are you able to wait on God, or do you have to be doing something about
the situation all the time?
       Do you have a disciplined mind?
       Are you calm, or are you agitated?
       Do you speak against other Christians, or are you a peacemaker?
       Is His Word always in your mouth - not as an accusation, but as your
standard for your own behavior?
       Is there Love when others would be taking action?
       Are you eager to put the other person first?
       Soldier, make sure you tell Him you will be a Living Sacrifice.  It needs to
be said over and over.  Week after week, day after day.
       He who died for you also lives for you, and longs to see you set free.  Take
His outstretched Hand today, and taste the freedom that is in Christ.
       Then, you can be convicted for being a Christian, but the Glory will far
outweigh the distress.
