D6-7 Christian

When word came that UNC beat DUKE, I was with a bunch of my teens from church.  All of us are TarHeel fans to varrying degrees.  We cheered, slapped high-fives, and some of the guys even ended up on the floor rolling around with excitement.

We can get enthusiastic about Roy's boys and have a blast with each other during March Madness.  But why can't the same enthusiasm be part of talk about our incredible Creator?  OK, slapping high-fives doesn't fit every venue.  However, it's not the action I'm talking about, but the passion, the zeal, the excitement, the joy, the I-can't-believe-this-is-real-baby (Dick Vitale) enthusiasm.

In Deuteronomy 6:7, God tells Moses that His people should talk about God everywhere -- when they sit in their house, and when they walk by the way, and when they lie down, and when they rise.  This is much like a fanatical fan.  I know such a fan.  He has the a Clemson tiger paw decal and flags on his Explorer, he wears Clemson Orange shirts, and 85% of his conversations are about Clemson football.  We went camping the night before Clemson played Florida State.  By the end of our trip I almost hated Clemson football.  Why does he do this?  He is excited about Clemson; therefore, he has Clemson on his brain and it shows by the way he talks and lives.  His love is seen in his enthusiasm.

D6-7 Christians are easy to spot.  They're enthusiastic.  D6-7 Christians love the Lord their God with their all, and it shows in their conversation.  Be a D6-7 Christian.
