LABEL ME BLESSED!!!

 During my life I've been called many things. So have you.  But do they really express Who You Really Are? 

When you think about it, ever since we were born we've been creating a paper trail of labels placing us in a box or category to suit someone's idea of who we are or should be!  We've even done it to ourselves as we seek to carve out of this deeply flawed world some unique identity!

  I pray there will come for you as it has for me a time when all these other labels no longer matter! When it's not necessary to create a label, check a box, wear a graphic tee shirt or carry a placard validating your existence!  When you are totally secure in the Only Identity That Matters - Your identity in Christ!  

Our Lord and Savior Jesus challenged His followers even as He challenges us today with this question in Matthew 16:  Who Do You Say I Am?  Click Here:  We need to do it EVERYDAY! 

Here are some reasons:

1. CULTURE - The world is relentless in confusing and distracting us from our central purpose for existence -- to bring the Light of Truth to this dark world  of sin and chaos.  Click Here:

2. HYPOCRITS - Be careful of what you justify in the Name of the Lord! To be labeled intolerant  is better than the guilt of putting a body and soul in eternal jeopardy.  Click Here:

3. CHRIST HATERS - Because Christians in America do not suffer as those in other countries we've become lulled into a false sense of comfort and safety.  What we have NOW will not always be. The Enemy comes as an angel of light but do not be fooled!   Click Here:

4. SCRIPTURE VIOLATORS - A smooth tongue and charismatic personality lured Adam and Eve into sin.  Works of the flesh that still hold many seasoned Christians under the spell of proclaimed wisdom.  We must not be duped! Click Here:

The path of a Christian is one that will be consistently Misunderstood and Undermined by those who want to remain in the darkness of their sin!  Every day we must reorient ourselves to the Truth  of Who We Are In Christ : Our Purpose, Our Core Values, Our Character, Our Priorities!  

The identity the world gives can be stolen, duplicated, and even sold to bad actors anywhere in the world.  Advanced technology can place your facial image and credentials in places that you'll never visit.  This is not so with your Identity in Christ. There are no duplicates of YOU in the Body of Christ! Your credentials are divinely secure: Confirmed in Scripture, Validated in Eternity, and Verified in Every Experience you've ever had from physical birth to your New Birth in Christ!  That's why we must fight to reclaim what others are trying to steal, but in the process...

    We Will Be Labeled Many Things:

CLOSE MINDED - UNLOVING- INTOLERANT

 ARCHAIC - FEAR MONGERS - CULTIST 

BIBLE THUMPERS - JESUS FREAKS

But if you concur we can tell them all, 

If you must label me... Label Me Blessed!!!

UNTIL NEXT TIME...
