No Neutrality

First, sorry about the hiatus, but I am back (and so is our computer).


I was reading a passage recently about Christ's writings in the scriptures and about how we are taught that we cannot be neutral. We MUST make a stand and align ourselves. We are either disciples and worshippers of Jesus Christ or we are against him. In Matthew 12:30 is says: "He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad." Christ makes is absolutely clear that there are only two options, there is no third neutral or middle ground option. We are either believers and supporters of Christ or by not choosing or being "neutral" we are actively against Christ.

It is easier to see where you stand on the big picture with this one. I know that I believe in Christ. I know which side I stand on with that, but I believe it is the smaller decisions each day that show what we really believe. It is things like honesty and kindness that can tell us which side we are really on. We cannot say that we are disciples of Christ and act contrary to how he would have us act. Our actions must support our claims of believing in Christ. We must do more that proclaim belief in Christ, we must show our alliance with Him in our actions. We cannot be neutral.
