Worthiness of Our Lives


Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ…. (Php 1:27)


There is nothing more devastating than Christianity without Christ. Without the centrality of Christ, there are no glad tidings of good things (Rom 10:15). The climax of the week is found in triumphalism celebratory Sunday 'worth-ship' (Col 2:20) and holding on to creeds and denominations rather than holding on to Christ and in obeying His Word (1 Cor 1:13). The world is in darkness and lies under the sway of the wicket one (1 John 5:19), do we see people heading down the road to eternal damnation or still quibbling over matters that bring ‘spiritual’ goose bumps .


But this shall be the covenant …. I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Jer 31:33)


God has given us the capacity to be epistles or message to be read by all men (2 Cor 3:2). The same capacity that principalities, powers and rulers of this darkness will acknowledge our existence (Acts 19:15). We are the light of the world that illuminates the dark sphere surrounding us. We are the distinguishing factor that will show men and women that they are bound in sin by demonic forces and we have been made free (John 8:36). Without Light people cannot see. Without light, darkness cannot be dispelled. People cannot be drawn to Christ without light. What gospel are we preaching through the way we live (2 Cor 11:4)? Is there a 24-7 preparedness of the gospel of peace (Eph 6:15). Are our lives worth measured in the Good News of Christ?
