I thought the title was funny enough in itself to just post and leave as is, but there is a quick thought that I had this morning. Now we all like to have fun, and no one likes their party crashed on and dampered, so hopefully this posting is not a downer but rather a reminder in the midst of having fun. Like much of how every Christian, at some point(s) in their walk in America, becomes lukewarm justifying their actions by saying we have “liberties,” I wondered the following analogy.
Isn’t it worth realizing that, if a believer celebrates Halloween in all it’s glory and never shares the Word of God about Christ’s loving sacrafice during their hallow festivities and nor shares of the devil’s ploys to take everyone out daily because their festivities are “all in fun,” it is the same as saying that it’s “all in fun” to watch someone struggle in a raging ocean who can’t swim and will drown?
Let’s have fun and not be sticks in the mud, but don’t be compromised and compartmentalizing Christ so He doesn’t cramp our style and “fun”….especially during those high times of recognition by the world like the holidays. Stay blessed, be encouraged and be ever watchful for the time of His return is unknown.
“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of this world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” ~ John 15:19
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” ~ Romans 12:2
