CHRISTIAN? OR CHRISTIAN ATHEIST? THAT IS THE QUESTION! Colossians 3:1-3; 12-15

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!
   I do apologize for the last week of missed studies.  My life has been good, but moving from hither to yon and my whole schedule has been crazy.
   Yesterday I heard a preacher speaking about how many Christians are "Christian atheists" meaning, WE ARE SAVED, yet we do not live as a person in Christ, but a person of the world.  Wow!!  This really hit me and stimulated thought about me, you, us all, and our Christian walk.
   Sundays we walk and talk like a Christian, but Monday through Saturday we live in the world.  Is this the walk Christ did?  Is this the walk we want?  Let's look at scripture.
    Please look at this scripture carefully and read both versions please:

Colossians 3:1-3 New King James Version (NKJV)  Not Carnality but Christ   3 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. ² Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. ³ For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 

Look at Colossians 3:12 New King James Version (NKJV)   Character of the New Man¹² Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

   Setting our sights on the realities of heaven means striving to put heaven's priorities into daily practice.  Letting heaven fill our thoughts means concentrating on the eternal rather than on the temporal.

   Where are your sights set:  Are you a "CHRISTIAN" and act like a "CHRISTIAN" or act like a "CHRISTIAN ATHEIST?"  For more study go to Christianity - Thoughts by Johnny.  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
