Comfortable Christian
Christians are not supposed to comfortable. In fact, it's our comfort that is killing us. Many of us go to churches that have state-of-the-art audio/video equipment, professional musicians, elegant bookstores, and even latte machines. We drive up in our BMWs and SUVs and are upset if the twenty minute sermon runs two minutes late. If the church we are attending doesn't cater to our needs, we are quick to switch to another one with a better preschool class, a newer sanctuary, or a more seeker-friendly sermon where we don't have to open a Bible. It's not about Christ anymore; it's about comfort.
Ironically, there is nothing comfortable about being nailed to a cross. There is nothing comfortable about being beaten. There is nothing comfortable about denying yourself. The original twelve disciples followed Jesus and they were crucified, cut in two, tortured, stoned, and exiled. Every disciple died because of his allegiance to Christ. Yet most of us won't even walk next door to meet our new neighbor.
Comfort is for people of this world, but Christians are not of this world. C.S. Lewis wrote, "It's useless looking to heaven for earthly comfort; it's not the sort of comfort they supply there." If you rely solely on pleasant circumstances and conditions, you will miss the call on your life. You will know when Christ tugs on your heart because it will take patience endurance, prayerful consideration, and unfettered faith to follow His voice. When you feel a little uncomfortable, then it is Christ.

Time to Response For Jesus Sacrifice !!!
Dear Friends,
Good Friday and Easter has brought us a very significant message to us as a congregation.
Jesus without failing Himself, fulfilled the will of God so that we can be delivered and have the gift of salvation with bonus of Eternal Life.
Now when we have the Gift and the bonus, what are we doing on our part. Everyday through our transgressions and mistakes we go against the will of God, though we say that we surrender all but many times it's not possible as human beings.
On Wednesday we met for fasting prayer to put our weaknesses in front of Lord and renew our commitment to Him asking His grace to prepare for us for a righteous life as God desires.No doubt it was a blessing time to open up and have Peace in lives.
The same message i want to share with you all. Let us not waste His sacrifice by doing things against Him. He never failed in serving us so we need to be enough strong, not to fail Jesus for what He has done for us. Renew your commitment and see what more wonders He is going to do in our lives.
Be Blessed my Friends in Christ & enjoy your Good Friday and Easter in the presence of Holy one.
In His vineyard
