What is it about ourselves that makes us the person that God created us to be?
If we are that person, why then should anybody oppose God and stifle, reject, destroy, God’s handiwork?
Some would say the playing cricket is a waste of time. Yes it does take time. Two training sessions each week, then Saturday (my day off), arriving at the Club rooms around 11am, and not getting home till well after 7 pm. Why spend so much time and effort? Firstly, I enjoy the game of cricket. Secondly it improves my health. Thirdly I am connected with people that are outside of the church community. Fourthly I give some enjoyment and humour to people watching me play. Fifthly I can frustrate the opposition bowlers. Sixthly, … well there is more!
I enjoy art, what would the world be like if the artist was stopped from creating?
I enjoy sport, what would the world be like if sports people were not allowed to play?
I enjoy music, what would the world be like if nobody made instruments, paper, printers, recorders, players, amplification, TV, etc?
I have even wasted time by dressing up in old clobber. But as that was for a Church service it may make a difference to some. Even better if you are Joseph, on the front cover of the War Cry, with Mary and baby Jesus. I have also wasted time in full uniform, with my BBb Bass, doing a promo for a TV Station – Wow, how that opened connection points in the Pub’s!
Just go for it in Jesus’ name!
1 Peter 4:16-17 (NIV)
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
