Come on man !!!

I'm not much on TV, but I do like Monday night football, so I will generally try to catch the game.  I am particularly fond of a portion of the pre-game stuff called "Come on Man!" wherein they show some short video usually of something silly, goofy, or just plain funny from recent games.  Then they say to the man in the clip...."come on man".  It's as if they are saying to the guy..."what were you thinking???"

You know what?  In real life, my own, I create plenty of "opportunities" for someone to later say..."come on man!!".  Perhaps, if they don't actually say it, they at least raise their eyebrows in silent wonder about just what I was thinking.  Do you think this might happen to you once in a while?  (If you answer no, you know I'll be saying "come on man!".)

Let's think about our everyday lives for a minute.  Are you......
  • a fully committed follower of Christ?
  • a selective follower of Christ?....a part timer, so to speak, when it is convenient to  you.
  • a fence rider...sometimes on, sometimes off?
  • wanting to turn your life around and grow to be a follower of Christ?

Being a male is a matter of birth...
Being a man is a matter of age...
Being a Christian man is a matter of choice....YOURS
 
When I think of all the grace, love, and redemption that God has bestowed on me, I want to try so much harder to be a fully committed follower of Christ. When I think that my past is a non-issue with God, I know I want to make that choice.  When I think how many times He must have said to me "Come on Man!!"...it makes me want to live so He never says it again.
 
Do you ever wonder if God isn't saying "Come on Man!!" to you?
