Average or Avid?

Let�s say you�re not merely an average basketball fan, let�s say you make great sacrifices to support your hobby. You buy season tickets to watch your favorite team. You wear your team�s colors. Not even a stranger could mistake your love for basketball!

Now, that�s an AVID fan – they are FANATIC you could say. There�s also the AVERAGE fan. This person says he likes basketball. But the average fan really doesn�t have a favorite team, doesn�t care if he misses a game, and wouldn�t pay for tickets, for sure.

When it comes to following Jesus Christ, are you a fanatic, so to speak? Or are you like the “average” basketball fan? Are you content with missing opportunities to reach your world for Jesus? Are you satisfied being just an “average,” instead of ACTIVE, Christian?

In the Bible Jesus says, “He who is not for me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.” When you are not living all-out for Jesus, you are not engaging in the spiritual battle for eternal souls.

Today I ask you again: are you a threat to the Kingdom of Darkness? Are you actively sharing as well as living your faith? People really do need to hear the Good News of eternal life and forgiveness.

I was reading in John 17 just this morning, and boy was I challenge that people need to hear that God is calling them. So do it, and be God�s mouthpiece.
