I’m Seeking to Give My All to None of These Nations

Daily writing prompt
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

Praise and adoration belong to God — not to any nation! A Christian’s calling is to continually follow and obey the risen Jesus, not to get wrapped up in and focused on politics, current events, or entertainment.

Militaristic patriotism is the gruesome idol that requires human death sacrifices and slaughters multitudes. O that we humans would escape from its coldhearted cruelty and horrors.

If you truly believe that Jesus is alive, present, and active in the world, live every moment of your life like He is! Some people say that Christianity is about going to church. Others say it’s about going to Heaven. The Bible says it’s about growing from glory to glory into the image of Christ. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Give to God what is God’s. (Mark 12:17) Always give Him your all in all — your radical and total love and obedience. (Mark 8:34)

Anytime
And anyplace
Can be your place
Of worship.
Always seek
God’s face.
Never let
Anything
Take the place
Of God
In your heart!
(2 Chronicles 7:14)

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
