Yesterday I preached a message called "Walk Worthy". It is based on Ephesians 4:1 where the Bible says the believer is to walk worthy of the vocation to which he is called. In other words, we should be a good testimony and representative of the Lord Jesus Christ in our walk out in the world. I preached this because there seems to be such a disconnect between the way some Christians live at church on Sunday and the way they live at work or school on Monday! For example, a lady I know worked in the jewelry department at Wal Mart. She said the item that was once most shoplifted was the WWJD bracelets. I'm pretty sure Jesus would not do that!
I gave three key words in the message that can help the believer 'walk worthy' throughout the week. The words are 1) YIELD (to the Holy Spirit) 2) APPLY (apply the Word of God, don't just file Bible facts away like a computer) 3) USE (your spiritual gift ) Eph. 4:7-15.
In this very wicked age we are living in, may we not just make a difference, but may we be the difference. A difference that doesn't differ doesn't make a difference.
