Paul calls us to follow him to a life of service to the Lord Jesus Christ, a life that may, or may not, include hunger, thirst, nakedness, beatings and/or homelessness. How's that for an invitation to the Christian life? You can also add being reviled, persecution and defamation to the list as well. This is what real Christianity is, and if you're saved, it's what you are called to, like it or not. This Sunday Service message was preached live at the Bible Believers Church at the Bookstore in Palatka, Florida.

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Colossians 3:1-3 (KJB)
