Live it!

Isn't it interesting how an egg's yolk and white don't want to part company?  Why, the egg white even wants to take the egg shell along.  I know you know what I’m talking about; how many times have you had to fish egg shell out of a place it should not be!  The trick is that nifty kitchen gadget that defies Mr. White and catches Mr. Yolk, holding him hostage until relocated.  Poor Mr. White!

It’s especially interesting how some Christians feel their faith have little or nothing to do with the rest of their lives.  What they profess as Followers of Christ have little effect on their behavior or choices they make each day.  Something similar was going on when God spoke to the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3:16. Here's what He said about their way of thinking and living: "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou [were] cold or hot. So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth." Ever chugged a tall glass of warm water!  Well, that's exactly what we are to God when we put our faith in some sort of spiritual "separator." What is needed are are "faithful and true" witnesses (V.14); the visible and effective reflection of The Truth, living within us and being seen outside us. Let’s keep the "separator" in the kitchen!  Live bold and live true … Live out your faith!
