Critical Choices

As children of Christ, we have to be an example for those who come to us for advise and things, like our students coming to talk to us about issues in school or in their life. The Corinthians did not bother to think of the consequences after they decided to eat the sacrificed meat for the pagan gods. Non-believers would see that they are eating the meat of a pagan god, which is the sign for worship, and believe that there is more than one god. That Corinthian did not make the right choice because it did not help the lost get closer to God, the One and Only.

Like everyday Christians today, there are many choices we have to make... and they have to reflect the love of God and the care He has for all his children (believing and non), for if the people around us know we are Christians and we do not do the right thing they would not think Christians are, in truth, good people. We would lead them astray, so we have to be good examples, good shepherds to the people around us... for we should want to lead our brothers and sisters closer to God or to God.

For my challenge.. I just want to have the sense in doing the right things at the critical moment so that God's love would be reflected - not to make myself look good, but so that God may be glorified and in the core of what I do.
