What Was Your Name???

Stay tuned for a post under this heading.  I'll give you a little taste...

I've only been a Christian for 5 years.  I've done it all, including spending night after night in my lost state, giving myself away, physically and emotionally.  Not to long ago, I spoke with someone who was an important part of my past.  It wasn't too long ago that I spent 2 years of my life with this man.  The conversation was great.  We bantered back and forth just like old times and I remembered the deceitful charm that he had back then.  About 10 minutes into the conversation, he said..."Sum, what was your last name again...?"

I sat still on the other end of the line thinking about how audacious the enemy is and how foolish we are when we fall for his "deceitful charm".  As wonderful as it would be to blame the enemy for everything, the Bible says that we are led away by our own wicked desires.  Again....tough pill to swallow.  Hopefully I will be able to sit down and update this post very soon.  Until then, remember this.  Remember that each time you give in, WILLFULLY, to sin, making provision for the flesh, that you are serving darkness rather than light and that one day, your beloved, whom you sold yourself for, will turn to you and say...."what was your name?" mocking you, shaming you and moving on to the next.  Instead, serve the One who knew your name before time began and who has called or is calling you to believe.  Call on the one name above all names, one that will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN...His name is Jesus.  Praise the Lord for such an awesome Redeemer!!!
