RE: Rather than foolishly putting our carnal-minded hope in the digitally-marked (SS#) chattel (i.e. ‘Xianized’ athletes, celebrities, politicians, or businessmen) that are happily held captive/enslaved within the Socialistic Security System of the Marxist UN Beast, we should fix our eyes on Jesus—the only perfect example of sanctified living outside of the Beast’s antichrist Social eugenics Security System in obedience to His Revelation 18:4 commandment.

It just seems many people who call themselves “Christians” do half measures. It’s ok to do this but it’s not ok to do that.

I understand no one is perfect. Half measures never availed me nothing and I admit that.

If we do something half way then it is never finished. Regardless of the excuses. It makes

It difficult to surrender one’s life to

The Lords word. For me at least. The evidence is every where and I for one am totally at fault as well.

The prevalence for me is to keep trying and not judge others and keep praying.

Hey Brian, thank you for reading and for the comment. I absolutely agree—none of us are perfect. Romans 3:23 (NKJV) reminds us, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” My intention with the article was not to point fingers at others or suggest that I have it all together. Far from it—I know I fall short daily.

The main point I hoped to convey is how important it is not to put men on a pedestal simply because they claim to be Christians. Instead, our focus should always be on Christ. We must be discerning, as Jesus said in Matthew 7:20 (NKJV), “Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” This is not about judgment but about being cautious with whom we look up to and the example we set for our children.

Like you said, it’s not about half measures but striving to be fully surrendered to God. We all struggle with this, but the beauty of God’s grace is that as long as we keep striving, keep praying, and keep looking to Jesus as our example, we are on the right path. Philippians 3:14 (NKJV) encourages us to “press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Thank you again for sharing, I appreciate it.
