" HOW PRODUCTIVE ARE YOU "

Greetings To You,

Well here we are again it's our time to share, are you productive for the cause of Christ?

I must ask you again are you a productive member of the Body of Christ? We are to help others find God, we are to be spiritually productive. If we faithfully practice Christ's teachings and share the gospel with others, we will be able to draw those around us to Christ like a fisherman who pulls fish into his boat with nets.

OK strap in, just in case we're not clear this is how to be productive for God. Many of you may have planted some kind of seed this spring; grass seed;flowers or maybe vegetable seed, and of course you're expecting a harvest. God's people should produce a crop of good deeds. God has no use for people who call themselves Christians but do nothing about it. Are you a Christian in name only, if others can't see our faith in the way we treat them, we may not be God's people at all.

Honoring God is not limited to young people who seem to have unlimited strength and energy. Those who place their faith firmly in God have this strength and vitality. Even in old age, devoted people who continue to have a fresh outlook and can teach us from a lifetime experience of serving God. Seek out an elderly friend or relative to tell you about his or her experiences with the Lord as it just might challenge you to new heights of spiritual growth. The kingdom of God is here and now because the Holy Spirit lives in the hearts of believers.

WE ARE CALLED TO BE ACTIVE. God's message hasn't changed since the Old Testament. People as always will be judged for our unproductive lives. God calls us to be lively in our obedience. In the Gospel John The Baptist compared people who claim they believe God but don't live for God to an unproductive tree that will be cut down. To be productive for God, we must obey his teachings, resist temptation, actively serve and help others, and share our faith. Now take a moment and answer this question, "HOW PRODUCTIVE ARE YOU FOR GOD"? Remember the Word Of God says: EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.

Last Point: I'm of the mind that it is essential that we choose which camp we're apart of. Either you're all out for God or you're all out for Satan. I'm of the belief that we're in the end times. With that being said Christ would say that "I MUST PREACH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO THE OTHER TOWNS ALSO, BECAUSE THAT IS WHY I WAS SENT". Do you hear the urgency in his words, and the desire to be about his Father's business. Unproductive followers are as dead and they will be cut off and tossed aside.

Until Next Time...

Jim,
