So Liv goes after it this morning! Wow ....none of were quite awake yet for this but she reads this scripture and says ..." Hum ...if a person is double minded are they really a Christ follower?"
The room got quiet and I said..."whoa!?"
So! Ya that is a great question worth pondering. We talked about what double minded means. That it means living in a state of compromise. Being swayed from left to right and never really landing on what you truly believe. Never driving the stake. What a miserable place to be.
We know that Jesus said he would "spit the lukewarm out of his mouth" and that many will say "lord I did this and that" and he will say " depart from me I never knew you." That's real. Just as real is his mercy and love for us and it is his kindness that leads us to repentance.
Like the man next to him on the cross . He did not get a chance to make a choice to live a life completely surrendered or in a double minded state and Jesus told Him "today you will be with me in paradise" ...
What a beautiful God we serve and if we love Him - we obey Him and live a completely surrendered life.
