If we only appear spirit filled or very "Christian" whether on Facebook, internet, or "only" in church, we do so for the approval of men. When we walk as spirit filled doing and obeying what is required to be defined as a "Christian" on a daily basis we do so for the approval of God. Let us stop mocking God. If we truly believe, then let us walk the talk at all cost. Please do not be only a internet Christian.
What is an internet Christian? It is like internet dating. You don't get what you that you were hoping for. In fact with internet dating, you may not even get the person on the picture.
Revelation 3:14-18(AMP)And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the trusty and faithful and true Witness, the Origin and Beginning and Author of God's creation:15I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!16So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!17For you say, I am rich; I have prospered and grown wealthy, and I am in need of nothing; and you do not realize and understand that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.
In verse 18, God says go purchase gold refined and tested by fire. Purchase? What does God mean? It means if you really want to follow Him, it will cost you something very valuable and it must go through fire to be purified. Gold is very valuable. It will cost you your life to follow Him and you will go through some pain of purification. Grace is free but the cost of your life is still required. In the spiritual realm, an oxymoron can exist.
Fire of God
