Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

Christianity is not a way of life.

It is The Way Unto Life. It must be about the vigorous chasing after the Lord. It must be about knowing Him, serving Him, and delighting in Him.

Today's Born-again Church can be seen in easy compromise with the world. Much of the music of the Church has turned into entertainment, and the draw of The Cross is rarely allowed.

For many, serving on the mission field is no longer a life commitment, but a short stint not unlike a Christian Peace Corps. There is a concerted effort to shorten the vast gap between lost and saved.

Soldier of The Cross, stay the course. Do not think you must participate or even approve of the majority. You do not need to fight it, for your strength must be reserved for the lean and precious journey of following hard after Him.

Nothing has changed. He is certainly the same. The need is desperate. Today, there are many who sing the songs, listen to the messages and even call themselves Christians. Many if not most, have never known the New Birth.

Make sure you are always setting your burdens down in prayer.
Make sure you tell Him you are available.
Make sure you are moving fast enough that you do not have time to condemn others who are blind.
Make sure you are cleansed by the water of the Word each day.
Make sure you put others first.
Make sure your Treasure is in Jesus Christ.

Get out there and let Him have your life!
