Amazing Grace Plumbing.....

I have observed that many people in Ghana know about Christ, but they only know Him at church. I have noticed this nation is full of the gospel, but people's hearts are empty. You see tons of signs for businesses saying "God is King Fitting Shop", "Amazing Grace Plumbing", or "God's Way Aluminum Co.", and these are just a few. Signs like the picture above line the streets of Ghana. At times it feels like there are more churches than homes and on Sunday's everyone but the tro tro drivers (bus drivers) are in church. While visually at first glance this nation appears to be full of God, when you take a second look at the hearts you see a different story. But really is this story any different in any other nation?

While in the US our streets may not be lined with visual signs of God, but do our hearts look any different??? This observation made me stop and think about my own life and ask myself some questions....
1. Am I leading a life that says I know about Christ or am I living a life for Christ in my heart?

2. When no one else is looking or when I am not at church am I making decisions with a Christ-like heart?

3. Am I just a visual picture of God on the outside, but on the inside it's a different story....

Just thought this little observation might spark some questions in your own hearts.... it's nothing I hadn't thought about before, but sometimes different things in life bring up these questions.....

Would love to hear your thoughts.... love Seren
