WAGON TRAIN SYNDROME

Tuesday- Good morning,, For we all have sinned and come close to damnation,, and yet we know better, we still sin! Why? Judge yourself, think about it, and then hit the knees.. I do each day, for I am man..

Prayer Request: That God will continue to bless the USA!

Wagon Train Syndrome

What is a "wagon train syndrome"? It is when someone travels in a group, never lets anyone into their area,, and when you do get accosted by someone who wants into your group, you holler out to all of your wagon train friends.. quick someone comes ,, circle up and keep them at a distance ... for you are afraid not to be liked.. and to be hurt. You do not trust anyone , except these friends. You stay circled, more than you stay open.. even denying it to yourself, daily.
Now,, I ask these two questions. First , are you a Real Christian? Second, are you a Wagon Train Christan?
Real Christian: One who believes in Jesus Christ, has accepted Him as their Savior, believes in all of His teachings, tries to live as He directed, and always looks at ones self, before casting the stone, & welcomes all who come to Him,, and walk openly with all who claim Him and also walks with sinners,,testifying of His greatness.. trying to reach , rather than boast and live as best of an example of a Christian, always acknowledging they are still a sinner, for they are men.
Wagon Train Christian: One who claims Christianity,, but walks only with chosen ones,, who are , or make them popular.. one who judges quickly, tempers quickly and reckless, testifies only of themselves, walks openly but withdrawn to their own special choices.. never walks across the tracks to where the example is to be shown,, quickly is accosted or questioned of their belief, will boast of it, but if approached to occupy the space of their everyday life, will quickly call for their special friends and will circle to keep other from invading, instead of opening of arms and welcoming all to enter into His warmth and saving power..
Now the choice to make from everyone, and this includes me.. is a review of ones self,, ones true belief of Jesus, of the way He wants us to live, to act toward our fellow man, to stop and help the ones in the ditch,, throw out the life line or throw the stone.. we all must ask ourselves , are we

REAL, OR ARE WE IN A CIRCLE OF OURSELVES?

Lord, I ask that you take away satan from all of us, and let us open our arms and heart ALL the way for Jesus to enter into each and every one of us.. amen

John HIcks
Sounds like judgment,,but not,, only reflections of where, we have all been , and maybe some are still there,, I have been there, and thank God,, I reached for Jesus, and folks ,, He grabbed hold of me tightly, and daily I have that ole satan, nibbling at my toes,, for he never gives up.. but neither does my Jesus and who is the stronger? by faith, Jesus is always holding on..
