GENUINE-NESS
Today's reading: 2 Corinthians 11-13

"Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine. Test yourselves. If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you, it means you have failed the test." 2 Corinthians 13:5 NLT

Genuine-ness. Not sure it's a real word, but it's the topic for today.

How genuine is your faith? Now, I realize that Sunday is the worst day of the week to ask this question, but it's been presented to me--so I pass it on to you.

Today at church, will anyone sense you are worshipping in the Spirit? Whether or not your hands raise in the air or tears flow down your cheeks, will they know you've come to worship the King of Kings?

Tomorrow at work, will anyone notice Jesus in your words or actions? Will they sense a difference in you--and desire to find out just what that difference is?

Wednesday, your halfway point in the week, will your faith be as strong as it is today? Will the world have shaken you up, let you down or beaten you up? Or will your faith, three days from Sunday, still be strong?

Come Friday and Saturday, will you still pass the test for genuine faith? Will the pasttimes and hobbies that busy your weekend reflect Christian values and attitudes? Will you begin anticipating the Holy Spirit in your church services?

How genuine is your faith? How much of Christ is seen in your life? Pass or fail, friend?
