On the Road Again

You’ve seen those shows. People bring items they’ve been holding for years. You never know which is the next million dollar item or another piece of junk—it’s your junk so it’s special. As people speak with experts about their items they are told what makes it unique. Of course, the climax is learning what the value is. We get to see the surprises. People are shocked to find out their items are worth more than they could imagine. Interestingly, many share the same response: “It’s nice to know how much it is; I’m would never do anything with it.”

Many of us CHRISTians hear the promises of God. We go to church and are reminded of the ways God has moved in history by hearing the stories of the Old and New Testaments. Unfortunately, many just come to hear. Like our friends who only want to know the value of an item, we can fall into merely admiring the Bible’s words without any intent to live out those words. Our faith should not be something we leave on the shelf to admire. Find ways to keep your faith a reality that goes beyond the church walls. Trust me, it’s worth it!
