Christian, what is it that is keeping you from serving Jesus Christ as you should? Perhaps, I should rephrase that question to read. “What is it that you are allowing you to keep you from serving Christ?”

After all, nothing really can, you know. Oh, you could be imprisoned, but that wouldn’t mean that there was no way of serving Him (check out Philippians 1 to learn how Paul served Him in prison).

You could be lying flat on your bed, but so long as you had your senses, you could serve in prayer.

So, if nothing can prohibit you from it, why aren’t you serving Him, believer? If you can read this blog, you can do so.

We could begin to list excuse after excuse at this point, but what good would that do? If you are in the excuse-making mode, then you will always find another. Call it a good reason, but you know down deep that it’s an excuse—don’t you?

You could talk about past successes, but that has nothing to do with the present. What are you doing now?
