A Christian is

 A Christian is

The apostle Paul writes,

"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God."  2 Corinthians 5:20.

The Oxford dictionary defines ambassador as “a diplomat sent by a state as its permanent representative in a foreign country.”

That is who the apostle Paul is calling us. We are Christ’s representatives on this earth.

St. Augustine wrote,

"A Christian is: a mind through which 

Christ thinks, a heart through which

Christ loves, a voice through which

Christ speaks, and a hand through which Christ helps" 

                                                                             St. Augustine.

If you claim to be a Christian. A true follower of Christ Jesus, are you doing this?

Please think about it.

Praise Him

Praise Him
The Psalmist writes,
Praise the LORD. 
Praise God in his sanctuary; 
praise him in his mighty heavens. 
Praise him for his acts of power; 
praise him for his surpassing greatness. 
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
 praise him with the harp and lyre, 
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
 praise him with the strings and flute, 
praise him with the clash of cymbals, 
praise him with resounding cymbals. 
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. 
Praise the LORD. 
                            Psalm 150.
In my early days as a believer in Christ Jesus I was part of a praise group. We weren’t very well known but we were good. Good enough to be invited to various churches and other Christian events.
Our repertoire included all of what was in Psalm 150, including dance. At the time in the mid seventies dance in some churches was taboo. Still once people seen what we did they liked it. They seen that our dance moves complimented the music and brought glory to God.
We encouraged people to not only praise God with their voice and with their instruments but with dance. You don’t need anything choreographed just let your spirit flow with the music.
From a purely practical prospective dance can’t hurt. It gives one exercise. Adding praise to God helps your spirit rise.
Praise to God with our without dance can take an ordinary day or even a bad day and make things feel better.
Why not try it. Put on some praise music and in the comfort of your own home praise God.
Please think about it.
