Call Me HIS!

[Mouko OCS]

I posted this (now slightly modified) on my facebook page in response so much of what I see becoming common in the world and too many Christians seemingly being unwilling to stand up against it.  Too many Christians either don't know the Word anymore or don't care.  I say chuck the politically correct garbage out the window and let the Word of God be spread regardless of what they tell us we can or can not say.
=========================================================================

Call me crazy but I prefer fresh air to the "kool aid" so many people are drinking today. Label me a non-conformist because I refuse to live according to the world's standards. Tell me I'm old-fashioned because I want to live with integrity and morality. Call me uneducated and stupid when I don’t buy into the world’s greedy and self-centered ways and thinking.

Call me archaic when I say that the Bible is God’s holy Word and the unfailing standard for our lives.  Call me an exclusionist because I believe that there is only ONE GOD and the that Bible tells us Jesus, His Son, is the only way to the Father.  Call me a bigot because I refuse to trade the truth of the Word for the lies of the world in the name of tolerance, the norm, or acceptance.  Call me an extremist…an activist…whatever you want…God calls me HIS!! I am blessed because HE chose to save me and pull me from the world’s grip and my own.

Very good post Mouko, many times have I been called an extremist because i use the Bible as a reference to my way of thinking ( ie. Abortion, Homosexuality, you name it). In fact, and i have brought my spanish teacher up a lot in the forums, have class with her everyday so I experience this a lot there, i believe she claims to be Christian but by her morals and views there is no way that she is solid in faith. When ever we get into a political debate, she loves to call us extremist because we use the Bible as our guide and our views don't match up with hers. If we ever get facts off a website that contradict her views she calls us extremist. I agree, call me what you want but i will always walk along side the Lord Jesus Christ even if it is not the norm and not accepted among most people. I was raised "old fashioned" with morals and i will always be that way. I don't care if i am accepted among most people for this way of thinking or not, I AM ALWAYS ACCEPETED BY THE LORD and that is all i need/want.

I love how you look at yourself and know your own security in Lord Jesus Christ that are sealed by Holy Spirit... just like Ephesians 1:12 to 14 says "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the priase of His glory."

I think you will also enjoy 2 Cor. chapter 5 especially 5:5 and as well as 2 Tim. 2:19 and Ephesians 4:30.

Goose... you honestly bring glad tiding in my heart in this morning.
