Why The "Panicking Christian"?

Like most Christians, I occasionally find myself in a borderline, all out panic about something which I already knew, but seem to have forgotten or that I only knew in my head, as opposed to my heart. And mercifully, God decides to show me what is really going on or what it is that I needed to know, before I completely lose my mind.

So the writing within is just that. It is that which God has shown and taught me while I was typically in one of those times in my life. Since the way in which He has chosen to reveal things to me tend to be fairly easy to follow and understand, I am sharing them via this format. That said, I take no glory for any of this. It is God whom has given me the ability to write, and it is He who has given me the content to write as well and He who saved me by His glorious grace in the first place.

Family Ties

So when exactly did it happen? Do you know?


We are called to be one Body (Romans 12:5) with many differing members and we certainly are - different and separated members, hardly a bodily connection.  We seem to be more concerned with being our own, individual little cell than being part of the whole.  We cry out to God as our fortress yet we think we are each in our own, looking out at our Brothers and Sisters in their own little huts being pounded by the enemy while we turn a blind eye or point a judgemental finger.  Oh sure, we say "we'll pray" but are we not supposed to DO SOMETHING  (Not all needs are physical) as well (James 2) - and half the time we do not even bother to pray other than that of the pharisee (Luke 18:11).  Sure we do things for those we perceive to be in need but why, why do we ignore our own Family?  We choose indifference, acceptance and the "safe ground" over the very lives of our Siblings! And if we do so, can we actually think we are truly okay?  If He returns tonight, will we be welcomed with open arms or told "I never knew you"? (Matthew 7:23)
