The Three Chairs

No, not bears. The Three Chairs.



Well, I did get convicted at church this morning. It wasn't during worship. It wasn't during the message.



It was while listening to a young man share about his experience at Student Life Camp a few weeks ago. He shared what he learned from a message he heard there. It was about three chairs.



Commitment is the first chair on one end of the row and represents the Christian who lives for God. This is the Christian who prays diligently, uses his gifts to edify the body and glorify God, and has a servants heart. This is a Christian thoroughly commited to pursuing God and living life in His Will.



The chair on the other end of the row is Condemned. The person who sits in this chair is a person who lives in the world. He has little regard for God's Will and chooses to live a life pleasing to himself.



In between these two chairs is the chair of Compromise. This is a Christian who goes through the motions, attends church regularly, prays and reads the bible. This person can practice the principles that Jesus taught and can just as easily push all that aside if something in the world tempts him, and wins him over. This is a person who can live comfortably in the world. This person is a chameleon.



What chair are you in? I'm thinking about some things and plan to post my answer later.
