Paul said in Philippians 3:8
Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as refuse, in order that I may gain Christ (RSV)
Had me wondering…
Wondering what I could count as loss for Christ’s sake.
I was brought up in a Christian family so my Christian values are actually cherished rather than frowned upon. I definitely cannot count family as a loss.
Friends? Most are Christians and the few that aren’t respect my beliefs. Haven’t had cause to lose any of them yet. Perhaps I’ve gained a few sef.
I’m doin quite well at school. So education is out.
Girls? Hmmm. That one is tricky. But in these days of Christian brothers and sisters added to the phenomenom of text messages like “Jesus loves you and so do I”. Can I really count that as a loss? Moreover most of my female friends are sisters in the Lord.
Food? Food “lost” during fasting is usually “gained” during breaking and during the glutinous moments.
Computers. I’ve found a way to integrate God into that as well. So…
Music? Thanks to artists like Kutless and Grits. I now have gospel music in my favourite genres as well.
I really cannot think of anything to count as loss. Perhaps is that why I don’t value my christainity as much as I should???
