The Issue:

When you hear the words ¡°dedication¡± or ¡°loyalty,¡± what

comes to mind? Does the concept of commitment ever seem

frightening to you? From careers to relationships, the lack of

commitment in our culture is everywhere. The concept has

affected the heart of the church as well. The term ¡°Christian¡±

is supposed to refer to someone who lives their life ¡°following

Christ.¡± Yet, if you look at the church today, many believers

only follow Christ when it is convenient and/or easy for them.

True commitment to Christ involves a determination to follow

Him all the time, no matter what!

What should I do?

What should I do?

A commitment to Christ is about living for God no matter the

cost! It is a willingness to make necessary changes in your

private and social life and a willingness to be bold and take a

stand for truth. A committed Christian realizes that any other

pursuit in life falls short of the joy that comes with living

wholeheartedly for our Savior Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:8)! Does

the level of commitment you have need improvement?
