Who's Side Are You On Anyway?

Have you ever tried to objectively referee an argument, and after you offer some advice or council somebody asks, "who's side are you on?" Well, would you believe that unlike that situation, where you could be neutral, Jesus said there's no such thing as neutral.

Matthew 12:30 - He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

That's pretty intense!!! This is literally telling us that if we're not seeking after God and putting our shoulder to the plow for the kingdom, that Jesus considers you against Him...

I don't know about you, but I want to be with Jesus, not against Him. A closer look at the Word of God confirms that this has been God's position all along. He's never really seen a "neutral" position.

Moses: Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. (Exodus 32:26)

Joshua: ...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15)

Paul: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (Ephesians 2:3)

So strictly speaking, "God just don't play." You're either on His team or you're working against Him. If you say, "well, I'm just gonna do my own thing" and think you're not affecting or hurting anyone else, THINK AGAIN. The Bible says if you're not with Jesus, you're against Him.

And don't forget, even though the Bible speaks of multitudes in the valley of decision (Joel 3:14) remember that if we've not made the choice to be with Jesus, we're against Him...

Stop waiting!!! Get on the winning team (because we know the church is triumphant), dig in, plug in, go deep, and set this world on fire for the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ!!!
