It is not enough to be called a Christian. As this distinction requires a lot of responsibility. Unfortunately, some turn their backs on the responsibilities of being a Christian. Unfortunate still is that I am one of those who neglected the duties. But things are looking up even for those who forgot what it means to follow Christ.
In a half-hearted yes, I agreed to attend the Christian Life Program in our parish. I did not have the courage to bluntly say no to my wife as she really wanted to attend. And when the time for the first meeting drew nearer, I became a little more uncomfortable. But I said yes.
For the past several weeks we have been attending and learning what it means to be Christians. Wow, it is a lot of work and a lot of sacrifices. Who knew it took so much to be called a follower of Christ?
Call it epiphany or just some sense knocked into me, I begun seeing myself a little more open to the spiritual side of life. Moreover, attending the meetings gave me some comfort. I eventually looked forward to attending instead of just watching TV -and Saturday night TV is usually great.
I suppose this is a start of something even more beautiful. Better late than never. And when I look back, I am glad that I gave that half-hearted yes to attend the Christian Life Program.
