In today's social media culture it's important who and how you stay connected. People use terms such as follow me on my blog or my twitter account. However, it can be a dangerous thing to just follow people just to stay socially connected. You may find yourself getting attached to that person's words or their personality.
Jesus said in John 10:27"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow me."Don’t get attached to anyone’s personality but Christ alone.
I’ve seen it before, a young teen is on fire for the Lord. Every event that Stacy, the youth Director has Erica is there. Stacy asks, "does anyone wants to help feed the homeless on Saturday morning at the shelter from 8am to 10am?", Erica is there. Stacy asks questions during her message at Wednesday night bible study, Erica enthusiastically raises her hand and answers the questions without embarrassment. Erica is at every event that Stacy is hosting. Stacy announces that she will no longer be the youth director because she is moving to Africa to start youth churches and minister to homeless children. Erica no longer attends youth events at the church like she once did.
She says that church is boring. What happened? To no fault to Stacy, Erica was attached to Stacy and not Christ. It happens on Sundays when the senior pastor is not preaching, members stay at home, the main choir is not singing, members are not that engaged during praise and worship… Christ is the only personality that we should be attached to. Where he goes we go, where He leads we should follow. Let us be the ones who attached our selves to the person of Jesus Christ, besides He is the one who gave His life for you! Who do you follow?
