It's Worship Wednesday!

I recently pointed out the more you kick God out of your country, the more you let Satan take hold of your country. I started thinking, however, that doesn’t just apply to countries but to your own life. There isn’t much point in faithfully donating $350 a month to the church if as soon as you get out of the parking lot you forget everything you’ve heard until next Sunday. The lowly loonie you put in the collection basket, however, has more meaning if you apply what you’ve learned to your life as soon as you get up from your chair or pew. Although this is a joke, it does illustrate my point.

A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there is no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!" The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall. Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm still waiting." His count-down got down to the last couple of minutes when a soldier just released from active duty and newly registered in the class walked up to the professor, hit him full force in the face, and sent him butt over tea-cups from his lofty platform. The professor was out cold! At first the students were shocked and babbled in confusion. The young soldier took a seat in the front row and sat silent. The class fell silent...waiting. Eventually, the professor came to, shaken. He looked at the young soldier in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked: "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?""God was busy. He sent me."

To me this guy wasn’t just a soldier, he was also a redneck. The polite thing to do would have been to get into a debate with the professor. Every redneck knows there is a time when you say to heck with political correctness.

There are many ways you can be more Christ-like at your job, at school or at your daily activities. It is up to you to listen and trust God for his guidance. Be still long enough to hear God, be accepting of hat he tells you and be Christ-like as you regard today as Worship Wednesday.
