My daily devotion asked a group of CHRISTIANs, what they would be willing to do for 10 million dollars? 25% would be willing to abandon their families. 23% would be willing to become prostitutes for a week. 7% would be willing to murder a stranger. WOW! Christians being the mirror of God, No wonder God has a bad rap among unbelievers and even some believers.
Honestly, A year ago I probably would have said yes to the first two. But why not murder? Because our culture doesn't look at abandonment or prostitution as bad as we do murder. But in God's eyes, sin is sin. There isn't a sin greater or lesser than any other. The punishment for sin is separation from God. No matter the sin. Thankfully we can over come the punishment through Jesus Christ our savior. I am amazed how culture can train us to think one way when God intends something different.
I see that the personal relationship with Jesus is a HUGE thing. A year ago I would have at least thought about abandonment or even prostitution for that amount of money. With Jesus as the center of my life today that's not even a question. Sure like anyone else, the money would be beyond nice to have. A new home, new anything. But with all that money comes new responsibilities, new temptations, new heartache. I don't want all of that. I am content with the life that I have found in God. I would have to say that I would honestly pass on the money.
What would you truly be willing to do for 10 million dollars?
With God's Love,
Christian
