What is a zombie Christian?
How often do you crave the flesh rather than the Spirit?
Romans 8:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
How often do you find yourself in tunnel vision mode walking and paying no attention to the world around you ( job, family, the unfortunate, the hurting)
How often do you find yourself aiming aimlessly in life as a archer who settles for the outer rings, if you even hit the target at all?
1 Corinthians 9:26 New International Version (NIV)
26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
A boat with no anchor being guided by the cultural currents and the wind persuading you to go in all different directions?
Ephesians 4:14 New International Version (NIV)
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
Are you still emotionally, rationally, and spiritually engaged or has life created a emotionless, brainless, and decaying human being?
Mark 12:30 (NIV)
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
Are you religiously going through motions as if guided only by past actions that now no longer carry the life that it once had? Gathering in hordes within the pews to mumble the worship music, to drool and mindlessly sit through another church service?
Matthew 23:27 New International Version (NIV)
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
Has the fruit in the spiritual walk began to smell as the sign that rotting is in the near future?
Matthew 7:16-17 English Standard Version (ESV)
16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.
We have to examine ourselves to see where we are in our faith? Is it living, dying, or dead? Do we need a spiritual adrenaline shot? Or do we need to be fully resuscitated back to life? What are your vitals? Christ is the living water, bread of life, the conqueror of death. So much could be said on this but I'll keep it short.
2 Corinthians 13:5 (NIV)
5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?
