COMPROMISE
What makes mJa member Georgia Hayward boil with rage...

“I'M BORN AGAIN… but these fags won't smoke themselves".

"This Church is my life… but I need to get home soon or I'll miss "Eastenders."

"I'm not selfish… but do you think I care if you think I'm being moody?"

"I'm gonna live for Jesus and be like Him" doesn't mean saying all the right things then going home to a lovely comfy, middle-class house with all the trimmings; it means sacrifice.

It makes me angry: people who say they're "living in the kingdom of God", but are not living the kingdom way. They're "baptised", but actually exactly the same as they were before. A lively teenager, "life and soul of the party", comes to all the Church's meetings - but then sits outside them and creates a bad scene, mocking and mouthing off.

What's the point in claiming you're for God and then doing just the opposite? God does not compromise - you're either living for His cause or not. Don't waste time messing about.

One foot in the kingdom and one foot out of the kingdom doesn't work: how will more people get in if you're blocking the way with doubts?

The cause of Jesus is painful, yet beautiful. Hard, yet rewarding. It's definitely not half-hearted and fake.

So where do you fit in? Gonna give it everything you've got?
