    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Sep 4, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,560 views

    There are vocations that endeavor to deal in certainty. Take engineering: I’m not certain that I would feel comfortable driving over a bridge designed by a person who simply ‘felt’ that their design would have integrity.

    So, what is going on today? Why are so many Christians leading a defeated life? If you talk to the average Christian today, they will tell you it is hard out here for a saint.

    How should the saints of the Risen Saviour Live when the society in which they are found is decaying and disintegrating into a putrid mess? They must be vigilant to be holy and righteous, glorifying their God in all things.

    “I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them.

    The Church was never meant to be a museum of saints but a barracks for soldiers. We were not called to maintain comfort, status, or cultural approval—but to advance the Kingdom against the very gates of Hell.

    Christians are warned to "take heed; be careful" against the Dangers of Presumptuousness, Complacency and Compromise and to ensure that their life’s work will survive the fiery trial of the Judgement Seat of Christ.

A little while ago, as I was turning to a word I wanted to follow up, my eyes fell on the phrase "take heed" and I was surprised to see how many references there were - over 50 ! This was clearly of some importance ...read more

    God's mercy and our anger can often be in conflict. Such conflict can lead to discouragement that in turn can lead to despair. The child of God must guard his/her heart to avoid falling into deep gloom leading to thoughts of suicide.
