When Adam sinned against God, one of the things
that human inherited is the attitude of being rebellious and prideful
that sometimes they want to play God.
Catholicism has done a great damage in twisting
the teachings of the New Testament from changing the means of
salvation down to the meaning of the ordinances. I do believe that
these teachings were very clear to them. They just created a reason
for them to change it. This made me appreciate and be grateful to God
more. Churches do really have differences especially when it comes to
beliefs and practices. I am so blessed that the church that I am in
holds the right teachings that comes from the New Testament.
There were times that I
am hesitant to invite my friends to the church not just because of
the fact that we have different beliefs but also because i am afraid
that they won’t be able to like everything in the church. This is
the attitude that I need to change. I don’t
need to be ashamed. Instead I
need to be encouraged
to invite them knowing that what the church teaches is in accordance
to the teaching of the Bible. Who knows, that might be the time they
will be able to encounter Jesus and be opened for the truth.
Few days more and it’s Christmas time. For sure
churches will organize a Christmas party in the church or even in the
outreaches. I think this is a good time to invite friends and
relatives who are not in Christ yet. The best way to do it is to ask
the Lord for guidance and wisdom in approaching them. There is no
harm in trying.
This Christmas, churches can be an avenue in
reaching out the lost. This is also my prayer that i will be able to
make my friends’ Christmas even merrier by introducing to them the
Person behind the season.
