Out of the “I’ve hit a wall” book of Leviticus comes what
should fuel any New Year’s Resolution for a Christian.
Leviticus 10:1-3: Nadab and
Abihu, Aaron’s sons, “offered strange fire before the LORD, which He had not
commanded them, and they died before the LORD.” Moses said to Aaron, “It is what the LORD spoke, saying, ‘By
those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, and before all the people I
will be honored.’ "So Aaron,
therefore, kept silent.”
Our pastor has lovingly challenged us as a body of believers
to do “winter house cleaning”. He
told us to check our behavior as to promote an influence that shows a vital
walk with God. We must not be
casual or careless about our relationship with our Creator. We must “come out of them and be
separate”. Let us not
compromise in regard to the influence we allow in our lives through
entertainment, leisure and the attaining of stuff. We must prioritize our worship and service to Him!!
Let us not misrepresent the gospel of Jesus Christ by coming
so close to sin that it harms our hearts and our witness. Praise God for loving pastors who
exhort us to holiness by causing us to re-evaluate our walk. Obedience MUST be a lifestyle.
