So you are a Christian huh? Here are points you should ponder

NAIROBI: Be all eyes, for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God, He who has ears, let him hear. To you who are lukewarm — neither hot nor cold — I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers.

See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. Therefore, I urge you, brethren, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. He said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Ask yourself, “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men?” If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. You were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body.
