When it comes to food, especially burgers; I
want my burger the way I want it! Most of the times I like my burger with
everything on it; but if I’m going on a date with the Mrs. I might choose to
void the onions, just in case she try to get a little fresh with me. That’s why
I’ve always like Burger King because their slogan was, “Have it your way”.
I’m not the brightest guy on the planet but I do
know that when it comes to God, you don’t get to, “have it your way”. Sometimes
I’m amazed at the thought that you can do whatever you want, say whatever you
want, and still say that “I’m a Christian”. The idea of claiming that Jesus is
lord of one’s life but you can sleep around, get drunk, smoke dope (THC), and cuss
like a sailor, is an idea that had to come from Burger King. I say that because
if you can serve a God who is cool with whatever lifestyle one chooses; instead
of the lifestyle he commands, that would make you a God of your God! If that be
the case, why don’t we all just go to the strip club, make it rain and shout, “Hallelujah”
as the dancer shakes her breast in your face? Why not cheat on your spouse and
during the moment of climax, scream, “Thank you Jesus?”
There is more hope and respect for a person that
says, “I’m my God and I do what I want to”, than for a person to say, “I serve
a God who is cool with whatever tickles my fancy.” Maybe with Allah, Buddha or
Self, you can make up the rules as you go But with Christ, that’s not the case.
1 Kings 18:21- Elijah challenged the people: “How
long are you going to sit on the fence? If God is the real God, follow him; if
it’s Baal, follow him. Make up your minds!” Nobody said a word; nobody made a
move.
