Are you fanatic or faithful?

Just a quick post today.

This is from Oswald Chambers: (I made some changes for easier reading but I think you will agree they are accurate.)

Beware of making a fetish of your consistency to your convictions. …..The one consistency of the Christian (Chambers uses the word “Saint”) is not to a principle but to Christ. (Chambers uses the words “Divine  life) .It is easier to be a fanatic than a faithful soul.

What are you today?

Do you “spout” your beliefs loudly for all to hear or are you truly faithful when nobody is watching, in your prayer, Bible study, relationships, actions, word and thoughts?

Only you know.

God bless and I hope you have a good day.

Hi. I'm so glad you're here. My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can. My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker. Thank you for visiting and may you feel God's presence today.
