These are the questions we need to be asking ourselves as christians and spiritual leaders:

1. Am I a good christian?
2. Am I strong in my faith?
3. Is being a christian more than going to Sunday service to me?
4. Am i doing GOD'S work?
5. Am I witnessing to others of His promise?
6. Am I reaching out to those in need?
7. Am i being obedient (praying/reading scripture daily)?
8. Am I being a good christian example and spiritually leading my family in God's way?
9. Am I loving, kind and compassionate as God would have me be?

And finally, and most importantly....
10. Is there room for me to improve as a christian on any of the above?

I am not judging anyone. I am not accusing. I am simply asking, are we doing as much as we can as christians in this world? I think if we look at this world we are living in, and look deeply at ourselves we would have to say no.

We need God in our lives and God needs us to spread His word. That is a responsibility that is put on every christians shoulders. Just think about it for a while. Have i missed opportunities to witness. Have I missed opportunity to give testimony? Have i failed to reach out at anytime when I saw a need? Have I done for God in any measure what He has done for me? We would all have to say at sometime we have failed at these things.

It is time for us to stand up and lift our voices for the Lord. Even in this world where so many don't want to hear it. We give that message anyway. And we do it with love, compassion, and a kind heart. We embrace and lift up our brothers and sisters. We reach out to those in our community and our lives. We pray for this world that is at war. We pray for those soldiers and their families. We pray for the lost. We study His word and come closer to Him thru that truth.

I could go on and on, but, I won't. I love my Lord and Savior. And I love my christian family. And I think we all have room to improve as children of God.

God bless you all.
