MAKE YOUR MOVE!

Last week I wrote about the God-sized hole that is in each of us and how we try to fill that hole with everything except God. Many people will close out the year 2010 with pain, anguish and no hope that things will ever get any better for them. They don’t have or even know how to find the peace and the promise of eternal life that Christians have.

Many of you know that music is a great inspiration to me. Lately, I’ve been listening to the new Third Day CD “MOVE” and I’ve been thinking about one song in particular, that song is “Make Your Move”. This song is about someone who does not know Christ. This person is thinking that there must be something to Christianity because of the faith that we possess and this person knows deep down inside that there has got to be more to life than what he is living.

As a lost “soul,” this person realizes that something is missing and is questioning the God-sized hole in his life, but just doesn’t know how to fill it. In this song he is asking the Christian to “make your move”. Approach me, tell me why your life is different than mine, tell me why I can’t seem to get satisfied, why do you have peace in your life and why are you not questioning the meaning of life? The person continues to say “make your move now, before I change my mind!”

As a Christian it is the responsibility of you and I to make our move now! Tomorrow is not guaranteed, the year 2011 is not guaranteed! It is no longer time to be “politically correct” because people that die without accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior will spend eternity in Hell with Satan and his demons. People are searching, people are hurting and you and I have the answer for them. Let’s finish this year by reaching out in love and telling someone about Jesus Christ.

Casting Crowns said it best in their song, If We’ve Ever Needed You. “If we’ve ever needed You Lord, it’s now, Lord, it’s now. We are desperate for Your hand, We’re reaching out, we’re reaching out”

This world is desperate for the Lord’s hand, the lost people in this world are desperate for salvation, they are desperate for the “peace that transcends all understanding” and they are blindly reaching out. As a Christian, you have the answer that so many are desperately seeking. Why not make your move now?

“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matt 28:16-20 (NIV)


If you are desperately trying to fill your God-sized hole, if you know you are not living your life to the fullest and would like to learn more about receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Savior please read our blog titled New Life in Christ (April 2, 2010).
