Are you working to build up the Kingdom of God, or focusing on earthly matters? You cannot serve two masters, one must have priority. Look at yourself, your life, what you talk about, what you post on facebook, what you listen to and decide: does my life glorify God, or focus on the world?
We must live in the world, and by showing our love for God and neighbor we must impact the world, but children of God are not *of* the world. We are set apart. Can people tell that you are different because of your love of God, and how you live your life? Or are you just like any other person, and just happen to go to Church, or quote a Bible verse here and there?
Make sure there is a difference, for lukewarm believers don't make the cut. Christ wants only those who deeply love Him, and who live their lives for Him. Does Christ show in how you act at work? Does Christ show in how you treat your family? Does Christ show in your entertainment choices? Does Christ show in how you treat those you meet- both on the street and on the internet?
Are you more easily identified by what car you drive, what political party you belong to, or what sports team you follow than by your love and dedication to Jesus Christ? If so, change. None of us know how long we have in this life; make sure what time you have left is used for truly following Jesus Christ....eternity is a long time to wish you'd lived differently.
