The Christian Vitamin….Be One

There are a wide variety of vitamins. Vitamins for healing and vitamins to keep our bodies healthy. vitamins that purportedly are the fountain of youth and vitamins that, if taken more than the recommended dosage, can do more harm than good to our bodies.

Vitamin bottles come in all sizes…100 tablets, 500 tablets and mega bottles.

On major streets in virtually every town there are containers holding vitamins. These containers come on all sizes as do the contents. The various sized vitamin containers are called churches and the pills are the congregants. And wow! Some of those congregants can really be “pills” . The active ingredients of those various “pills” can range form obstreperous to kind and loving to thoughtful to nasty. And like most vitamins, these Christian pills can be outdated, ineffective or powerhouses causing extraordinary effects on the lives of those who come in contact with them.

We only want to take vitamins that do what they are advertised to do. If they don’t, they are ineffective and the bottle’s label is false advertising.

As Christians, we are God’s vitamins on earth here to have a positive, healing effect on the souls of those around us. The most effective Christian vitamin is B One.  Non believers watch Christians to see if their walk matches their talk. Jesus expects us to be honest advertising on His bottle of vitamins that he left behind to continue his healing work. His followers are the Church.  The most important vitamin to heal hearts is B One. Read God’s Word, listen to The Holy Spirit guide and direct you as a believer how to be a Christian. Anyone can spout a dogma. But the life chagning witness is the Christian who IS one. Who acts like one. Who puts God’s word into practice.

The best pill we can offer to a sick, heartbroken world is Christ…and He ministers through us when we LIVE what He taught us.

As a follower of Christ, Be One…rather than just talking about it. Live it.
