“They will have a form of godliness but deny the power of it”.  Why? 

Have you ever asked yourself why you shrink back from becoming a power house?  What is it about us that we are willing to accept the thought of eternal life and peace in this life.  But we shudder at the thought of becoming a serious witness for the Lord in any place He chooses.  Why are we so very timid about our faith?

Is it because we really don’t have any faith?  Is it possible that all we’ve done with the Lord God of Life is receive the idea that He can do certain things?  Maybe we don’t really believe that God is able, willing, and yearning to display His power through His people.  “Oh, that stuff is fine on the mission field.  But it’s got no use where I live.”

While you’re busy thinking today.  And you will certainly think.  Take a good look at your witness for the Lord.  How come it’s so very tiny?  I’m not asking you to raise the dead by the power of your Lord.  I’m just asking that you be honest about the faith you think you have.

By His Grace.
