Open-Minded Christians - Part 3

Whether you agree with Christians being open-minded or close-minded, or whether they should be one or the other, doesn't really matter. What matters is that you understand what it means to be open-minded. Let me explain. Mankind - in other words, our culture, or society - looks at open-mindedness as an opportunity to accept anything...or everything. The problem with man's open-mindedness is that they open themselves up to anything...and everything. In other words, they empty themselves, that anything that wants to attach itself to them can and will. Now since God does not impose himself on people, he would not naturally inhabit such an open invitation. However, the temptations and attractions of our sinful humanity beckon the devil's evil schemes, footholds, and habits. He jumps right in. But don't be fooled; evil, or the devil, is not so blatant that it can be easily detected. Obviously, it, or he, would want to cover himself as much as possible so as to avoid detection. However, Christians, or humans in general, should be open-minded to God. That's the point I'm trying to make with all of this. Be open-minded in faith; be open-minded in prayer; be open-minded in life. As Christians, we must expect the impossible and plan for a miracle. We must walk this life of faith as risk-takers. We must know that God is in control, and that we trust Him, not our circumstances. Let go of yourselves and your life, and embrace God, his Son, and his Spirit. Amen!
