We live in very sanctimonious times; almost everyone is trying to pick out the speck in someone else's eye while they habour logs in theirs. Many of us are like matchmakers who never find love but are able to find perfect partners for everyone else. When it comes to God, we are quick to show others the way while we remain in the same position with regards to our relationship with God. We are billboards for Christ.
Now, being a billboard doesn't sound so bad at first; a billboard is something people look up to, a source of information, a source of direction. Billboards usually have phone numbers to call, addresses to go to and sometimes a pretty face that makes the adverts look convincing... sounds good if you're that kind of Christian right? the problem with the billboard is it never leaves its position. Come hail, storm, hell or high water, the billboard stays in the same position.
Billboard Christians know what the bible says and they are quick to point straying sheep in the right direction, however their relationship with God is way below standard. They struggle to pray and communicate with God, they worship other gods in yheir hearts such as money, their jobs or even their partner. God is not the centre of their lives; for some they are the centre of their own lives. They are conceited, arrogant and self-centred, but it doesn't mean they don't know what God's way is. They do! They are the billboards; they know the way, they tell others the way, some even have an arrow that says 'This way to Christ' but they are not willing to move from the same spot.
If you fall into this category, it's time to move! It's time to begin your own journey in the right direction. God wants us to win souls for him but if you're winning souls when your soul has not been completely won, your soul-winning mission is a waste of time. Fix your relationship with God today! Fast, pray, sing hymns of His goodness.... join the journey to salvation.
God bless you. Have a blissful weekend! Xoxo
