Is
Pink a Safe Color?
Beloved, do not put your faith in every spirit… I John 4:1 (AMP)
• Hue. . .
• Tint. . .
• Pigment. . .
If the color red is too intense, tone it down
with a little white. If white is too bland, liven it up with a little red. Now
you have the color pink. Pink is white-washed red. It’s more red than white,
but still it’s a blend—a mix.
As
a Christian, are you a true color, or are you a blend? Let’s say the color red
represents a no tolerant believer, and white
represents a non-believer. Is the color red too restrictive for the way you
want to live? On the other hand, do you feel white is too far gone in the
opposite direction?
Is Pink a Safe Color for a Christian?
Having
enough faith to believe for the impossible can be hard under the best
conditions, but when we have a guilty conscience about anything, it interferes
with our confidence to believe.
Pink
isn’t a pretty color when trying to get a prayer through.
I
would love to see exploding faith. Miraculous things happening. That will take the color red, not pink. Pink is too weak to spark any flames.
Obedience Feeds Faith!
Everyone
who calls themselves a Christian is not
obeying God. They might be a “nice” person—a pillar of society, but if they are
not submitting to the guidelines in the Rulebook, they are some shade of pink. It’s
called selective obedience.
I
guess it depends on how they feel on a particular day as to what they will select
to obey—or not. My folks didn’t go for selective obedience when I was growing
up. I’m sure yours didn’t either.
It
says in Revelation 3:15-16 that if we are neither cold nor hot, Jesus will spit
us out of His mouth. Or, if I may use the color pink analogy:
Blends
Won’t Make it In!
