Better Husbands

Better Fathers

Better Followers of Jesus

Better Men

 - Nate Whitson -

I don't want to offend you. But I think this just might.

Here's my observation:

A lot of men who say they're Christian probably aren't.

Now, I know that we're not supposed to judge others and I have no idea what's in your heart. 

But are there other ways we can tell who is - or who isn't - in the faith?

Think about this passage from Acts 4:13:

"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus."

These religious leaders took note that these men had CLEARLY been with Jesus.  

What do you think they saw or heard from these men to come to that conclusion?

In short:  evidence.

They saw and heard evidence of a life that was changed by Jesus.

Here's my question for you to "examine yourself whether you're in the faith" or not:

What's the evidence of Jesus in your life?

Is it obvious to outsiders, your family, your friends, your co-workers, or strangers on the street that you've clearly been with Jesus and that He's living in you today?

Does your life prove that you've been radically changed from the inside out?

Or, sadly, might people look at you and wonder, not be so sure, or conclude that you're clearly not a follower of His?

Understand this --> this isn't a game or a cute little quiz to take.

You've got one shot at this life and what you do in the here-and-now carries forward into eternity.

Think about that:  forever, and ever, and ever, and ever....based on what you live like today!

If you've got room for growth but you're not sure what to do, check out this course I created to help you out.

But whatever you do, don't let Titus 1:16 be said of you:

"Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good."

Get in the fight.  Get the course.  Get serious about this today.

P.S.

No one else can say for sure that you are - or are not - in Christ.

But...He knows!

And you should too.

Like the poet Eminem has said, do not miss your chance to blow - this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime. 

Don't let it slip away pretending to be something you know you're not.

Become the man God meant for you to be.  Today is your day!  If you're serious about changing, then check out this course that can help get on that path.
