Three Seats

It is never good to compromise what you believe in. As Christians, it is so important that we know what we stand on, what God's views are on different topics. When we know what God's views are and what His word says about different things, then we are to never deviate from those beliefs.

There are three seats, representing three choices, that we can choose to sit in on a daily basis. The first seat is "hot", the second seat is "compromise" and the third seat is called "cold".

The "hot" seat represents the Christian who no doubt is on fire for God. Everything they speak and stand for is founded on the Rock. Their character reveals the true nature and character of Christ.

The "cold" seat represents the world. It takes on the character of the world and the sinful views that abound with ungodliness.

The seat of "compromise" represents that of a lukewarm believer. This is a seat that looks a little like God and a little like the world. Someone who sits in this seat is not totally sold out to either God or to the world. They cannot be distinguished.

As Christians, God wants us to be distinguished. He wants us to be set apart. He wants us to take on His likeness. When we know what we believe is true and we boldly speak that forth, then those around us can easily distinguish what seat it is that we sit in.

Every area from politics, marriage, sexual immorality to even how we choose to dress needs to reflect that we are "hot" Christians. Know God's heart and his word, and do not turn your views from that no matter how pressured you are from society and those around you.

Sitting in the "hot" seat is not always easy and can even feel pretty lonely. Few choose it. The hot seat gets hotter and the narrow path becomes more narrow.
