COMMITMENT
"COMMITMENT"
We live in a day of disposable diapers and disposable everything else. If you don’t want a baby, dispose of it, get an abortion. If you don’t like your mate, dispose of, get a divorce. If you don’t want to be burdened with your elderly parents, dispose of them! The idea of finishing the job or doing the right thing doesn’t appeal to this selfish era. However, God is calling His people to commitment. A Christian must be committed to his Creator, Companion, Children, and Church. Phrases concerning commitment such as; in sickness and health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse, and till death do us part have become ancient history. Over half of all marriages end up in divorce.
There are reasons for shallow commitment. Parents, authority figures, and government leaders have modeled poor commitment. Entertainment sources, like television and movies teach everything but commitment. Even many church members have accommodating theology. If they don’t like the truth of God, they change it to fit their immoral lifestyle. Since God doesn’t zap people immediately very often most people feel they have a right to do wrong. At the root of shallow commitment is a major spiritual problem, sin.
If you are committed to God, there is hope. Persistent commitment to God’s will pays off. God defends unselfish commitment. Properly placed, commitment glorifies God. Your life is defined by your commitment to your relationships. If you cheapen and fail in your commitments in life, you will be an empty failure. By giving your life, you will gain it. Whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same will save it (Luke 9:24).
By praying and serving God together totally and unselfishly, your commitment to one another will be unbreakable. United together in Christ we stand, divided we fall! Keep your commitments to your Creator, Companion, Children, and Church so God can bless and fulfill you. Check out our online bookstore, "The Seven ‘C’s’ To Marital Bliss." Questions or Comments?
