HIS OFFSPRING

Acts 17:29
29 "Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone — an image made by man's design and skill. NIV
** “We are God’s offspring.” Because we are God’s offspring, we should think as “God’s offspring.” Paul says, “you guys should be thinking better than this…. You guys should be thinking like God thinks.” It’s obvious, as we come to the end of this age, the real God thinkers seem to be less and less and the children of the world become more and more. Even with this election, I can’t believe how much hatred there is swirling around both in public and in the media. It is easy to get caught up in the thoughts of the world and join in with them in voicing my opinion. But what does God think about all of this? What does God say about our church, our jobs, our families, the election? If we are truly His offspring and have His mind, then we should be thinking like God during all of this. If all we do is just repeat what we hear everyone else of the word say then the mind of Christ does not get spread out to a lost and dying world. Now I didn’t say that it would be a popular thought and you may have to suffer for His thoughts. But I believe it is better to suffer for thinking good than to be honored for thinking like the world.
