The judge

Do you like to watch Judge Judy or the People's Court sometimes. I never have had much use for those shows but I know a lot of people do. My wife and I used to watch Alli McBeal some times. The majority of us know how court hearings and trials work in the U.S.
Here's the question: If America took away Christian rights and freedom of religion and Christians were tried as criminals how would you do. I don't know of anyone who would want to die, but at the same time it would be shameful as a Christian to not be convicted.
Would the prosecutor have to dig and work hard for proof? Would he be asking for more time to investigate? I hope not.
As a pastor it would be my hope that everyone in our church would be easily convicted. That we would each live our faith out loud in a way that it was evident to all how we believe and what we believe.
God has no use for closet Christians. You know the kind, the ones who are perfectly Christian on Sundays and appear to be anything but during the week. They flip a switch and go from one lifestyle to the other.
God is looking for people who are hot, on fire and full of passion to reach the unsaved world. He even said himself that He wants to spit luke warm Christians out of His mouth. How on fire are you? Is it evident by your life and your lifestyle? Is it evident to all you come in contact with? I sure hope so!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
