What Kind Of Christian Are You

So many times we talk about being Christian, but we hardly every live the Christian life.
So frequently we condemn the world of iniquity, but seldom do we ever pray for others.
So many times we have spiritual revivals and week or prayer, hoping to make us, who already have the good news stronger in the faith and closer to God. But hardly do we ever, maybe never, do we even think about helping others draw closer to God. As we grow closer to God, others are drifting...are we so holy that we can't go out into the community to share this good news? Is this the life God wants us to live?

The Bible tells us in Matthew 9:10-13 KJV "And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that , he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

If Jesus, who came to save the world, could find the time to be with those right in His community, wherever He went, how much are we more important that we can't find a few nice words to say to a stranger? How much more important are we that we can't share our food with the needy? Can't we spend some time meeting the needs of our community rather than our own needs? Can we lose our selfish ways and spend some time with those in need of our help?
The world is in danger.
