Sigh...in the church we spend many many MANY more times complimenting each other for looking fashionable or congratulating them for succeeding in a worldly manner (good grades, new job, college acceptance etc) than we compliment or congratulate someone for being counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Do you not see a problem? Who do we live for?
Person 1: Congrats on graduating! What are you going to do afterwards, etc., etc.
ReplyDeletePerson 2: Thanks, I'm gonna blah blah...
Person 1: Congrats on being counted worth of suffering disgrace for the Name!
Person 2: ...OK?
Person 1: *silence*
Person 2: *awkward silence*
*Praising God in the silence of our hearts*
