Good morning ladies,
The word of the day is “juju.” When the church was very young the teachers
of Christianity needed to make sure that they did everything in their power to
help people to understand what it meant to follow Christ while at the same time
shrugging off that which was not good teaching.
You can imagine how stressed out these teachers might have been, because
all they had was the old scriptures to help them out. The idea of Jesus and his Messiahship was
relatively new and in many churches unstable.
“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy
and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental
spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.”
~Col 2:8
My question is: what are the steps that you are currently
taking to understand a philosophy and theology that is consistent with what
God will call you to live? My mentor
used to tell me that it was not enough just for me to read my Bible, but to
question and challenge the ideas that I read.
I guess that is what made me decide to go into the ministry. I pray that each of you solidifies your
thinking concerning your beliefs in Christ.
This is not something to take lightly, as it is the foundation of our
being no matter what our vocation or direction in life. There is no juju in the Christian faith, only
a real belief and understanding that Jesus is exactly who he was said to
be. Take hold of a relationship with him
today, and see the change in your life.
Praying for you,
Mo
