Ever tried walking up a down escalator? Totally fun, but oh so challenging!
But what happens if you stop walking...now that is not so fun.
I think the Christian life is much like this. Often I feel myself walking against what seems 'normal' and it is tempting to just stop. But stopping means trouble, it means danger and it means the dangerous possibility of stumbling back and stumbling back hard.
I was challenged this morning by the question "Am I a citizen of heaven or of earth?" My first response was I don't know...
But I am not sure I could really answer?
A.W. Tozer (a smart old dead Christian guy) asked these questions to help us think through our citizenship:
1) What do I desire most?
2) What do I think about the most?
3) Who do I admire most?
Answering and living out these questions probably will make us feel like we are walking up the down escalator!
