DID YOU KNOW…Any cheese which is labeled as “processed cheese” is really only 49 percent cheese (even thought it is labeled as “Real Cheese”. The other 51 percent is coloring, binders, preservatives, and stabilizers. So… does that make processed cheese “real” cheese or only a “cheese like” product. How close to “the real thing,” does something need to be before it is considered… well… real?
DID YOU KNOW… that there are no regulations regarding the labeling of Honey? A product can have as little as 1 percent honey (the rest corn syrup), and still be labeled as 100 percent honey. How much honey does it need to be real honey.
DID YOU KNOW… that many who claim to be Christians, don’t read their bible regularly, don’t attend the worship periods of the church, don’t share their faith with others, don’t fellowship with other Christians, often don’t live their lives as if Christ lived within them, yet are still labeled as “Christians”. How much much of God’s directions or commands do you need to keep to still be considered a “real” Christian?
John wrote in 1 John 2:3-4, “We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person.” So… how much does it take to be a real Christian according to God’s Word? It seems to me that God is saying that it takes (at least trying to give), 100 percent of our lives to him.
Is 49 percent of the real thing enough? Well, that’s one of the reasons we don’t buy “processed cheese,” I want the “real” thing. Do you think that God will be satisfied with 49 percent of your life?
